Silver and Gold - a Friendship Duet

Silver and gold; silver and gold - our friendship is a sweet treasure - a bounty of gladness always to hold. Silver and gold; silver and gold - a value of two-heart measure. Your concern cushions my every footstep. You never lean - I freely walk, talk, dance - Knowing you would never seed my regret, but remain golden with your acceptance. Like pure golden ore is your lovely gift - acceptance given without any strings. Respecting each other, we’ll have no rift. When free to be me, my spirit sings! Silver and gold; silver and gold - our friendship is a sweet treasure - a bounty of gladness always to hold. Silver and gold; silver and gold - a value of two-heart measure. My bridge of dreams could never safely rise, protectively anchored to strongly stand while arching to yet, higher calling skies without your love securing it to land. A bridge shining silver - indeed - it seems - this friendship you’ve happily given to me. Together lets climb it, fulfilling our dreams as we love unconditionally! Silver and gold; silver and gold - our friendship is a sweet treasure - a bounty of gladness always to hold. Silver and gold; silver and gold - a value of two-heart measure. Written five years ago with a wonderful friend (Caycay Jennings) whom I had newly made at PoetrySoup at that time Entered Nov. 5, 2021 for Do- It (Duets) Poetry Contest Sponsor: James Edward Lee Sr.

Linda: I cannot resist replying. I don't know about Andrea, but I am tone deaf. I once told a woman at church that she may regret sitting next to me because I can't sing, she said, "Yes, I know, I sat near you last week." Also, in my son's baby book, under first sentence, truth forced me to write, "Mama, don't sing." So, Andrea - will you sing it for Linda? CayCay
