The Pen
I remember that day clearly
even though it was 37 years ago-
I was off on a new adventure
because I had just moved into
the dorm for my freshman year of college
but I had no idea how my life was going
to change in a very simple moment
I went to the student center to pick up
my schedule and register being there
before classes started the next day
I remember feeling nervous about
not knowing anyone and being an introvert
in a totally new situation is hard,
but then...........the person in front of me
asked if he could borrow my pen
and it began.........a life long friendship
just chatting and sharing our schedules
and noticing we had FIVE classes together
I know now that it was meant to be....
the beginning of a beautiful friendship!
