FRIENDSHIP


Long, long ago
I held your hand
Lost these many years
Or has it been days

Friendship such as ours
Isn't made in a sandbox
It is nurtured like a child
Like the child it is full of joy

Every meeting new
Unlike the one before
Sharing trials of life
Over many lives

Incarnations of love
As we change from day to day
Adapting the friendship
In confrontation and acknowledging each other

Words not spoken
Simultaneous thoughts expressed in laughter
Linked together in a bond
Unbreakable

We belong to one another
In way not expressed
Deep reaching into our souls
Thank you
