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 Date: 11/5/2021 4:58:00 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!
