In this life's journey, where paths intertwine,
We find solace and joy in friends so divine.
Through laughter and tears, they lift our spirits high.
Above mere companions, their love makes us fly.
As the air we breathe, friends are the breath of life.
With each beat of our hearts, they ease the strife.
In their presence, we find solace and peace.
Their love and support will never cease.
They gratify our souls with their gentle ways.
Guiding us through life's maze.
Their words of solace, are precious advice,
Nurture us navigate through the lows and highs.
In times of darkness, they bestow light.
With their friendship, everything feels right.
True friendship must be cultivated.
Same as the furrows of the spring,
For it requires dedication, much debated,
And a touch of nurturing.
Some may panic at its scarceness.
Not knowing what the harvest brings,
But those with fortitude and patience
Will reap the most fulfilling things.
The fields of friendship are vast.
And each one is unique in its own right.
Some may be rocky and aghast,
While others are soft and light.
But with time, care, and attention,
They all can yield a bountiful crop.
Of laughter, love, and intention,
That will never come to a stop.
So let's abide care of our crops and flume.
With love and kindness as our guide,
And watch as our friendships bloom.
Into something that will never subside.
True friendship is a treasure.
That's worth higher than gold or silver.
And with it comes a lifetime of pleasure.
That will never, ever wither.

Excerpt from the compilation: “Prayer” – 3:
Friendliness, Kindness
I wish that we can know Friendliness
And gentle Kindness for ourselves,
Especially in the moments
when no one seems to care,
And the hordes of look-down, or look-away eyes
Incomprehensible actions and reactions,
Piercing comments and numbing judgements,
Seem more painful than sticks and stones.
Exactly in these difficult and challenging times
We can slow down, or better: stop
And practice listening to
and taking care of our daily needs,
And be a loving, patient Mother or a good Friend
to ourselves
for - we have nothing to lose.
