The Fluence of Friendship

The FLUENCE of FRIENDSHIP Each spring, the source of every brook or stream Rises from the land which has perforce been fed By rain that falls on earth the which would seem To return that gift, become a fountainhead And issue in a rich and vital flow That feeds all life to flourish and to grow With this metaphor I seek to realise The interaction of a friendship that I prize The one whose words as gentle rain sustain The spirit or the muse with which I weave The language that might then have dormant lain And who granted me the being I conceive
