Notes About The Poem

Collaberation with Andrea Dietrich / written January 8, 2016

Silver and Gold 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 let's 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.

Andrea Dietrich November 5, 2021 at 4:58 PM Hey, Caycay, to let you know, i am using this collab poem of ours in a contest. The judge does not say if two people can enter the same poem or not, but you might want to send him a note and ask him! Or maybe you did another collab with another poet? I know i have done other duets but I can't recall the titles. This one I was able to find easily. I knew it was written a bit of time after I met you and I am proud of this poem we wrote!

Connie Marcum Wong October 2, 2016 at 12:46 AM This poem is so special CayCay. Andrea also being such a great friend, deserves a wonderful friend like you. Your collaboration is truly worth its weight in silver and gold and this is a fave! I am not sure if this won but it sure deserves to. Blessings, Connie ; )

James Inman January 19, 2016 at 8:37 AM Reads beautifully CayCay. You should both be very proud of this lovely poem from two of my favorite poets. I've really enjoyed reading some of your poems this morning. Now I think I'll go visit Andrea for a little while. Have a beautiful day. CayCay Godwin January 19, 2016 at 8:55 AM I really enjoyed you reading me poems, too! I am grateful and had such a good time with your comments. Once again, thank you for all your encouragement and grins ... CayCay

Dan Cwiak January 9, 2016 at 2:28 PM Something tells me that our entry is going to be way down the list when it comes to this collaboration. Both of you are to be congratulated on this treasure of friendship and courage. Kudos and good luck in the contest. (Although I'm sure it won't be needed.) CayCay Godwin January 11, 2016 at 9:30 AM Not true - I remember truly enjoying your entry - no telling what will happen, but it will be fun to find out. It means volumes to me that you enjoyed this one. Thank you all the days ... CayCay
