River of Blessings

On a cold November day I sat beside you to let you fill me with your crystal charm. To my surprise I saw a lonely traveler instinctively I knew he meant no harm. Approaching me with care he closed the distance although he seemed a million miles away. He asked so sweetly just to sit a while with gladdened heart I bid him please to stay. He spoke his words of praise to me about you recounting all the beauty that you hold and I was blessed with joy that has no boundaries because he chanced upon your banks of gold. *To the Brownings, such a loving pair.

The only way to resolve it is to confront the person directly... perhaps you have reservations doing that, but once your friend knows your feelings, and that you're being candid and honest, there should be room for reconciliation... Love, Keith
