FRIENDS
Have you ever looked at an old friend,
thought back to when the two of you met…long ago,
and wondered when was the moment that seed of friendship was planted…and what has allowed it to grow?
Was it something in their greeting?
Was it in their smile…in their eyes?
Was their friendship something you expected…or did it take you by surprise?
Was it when you shared your stories…
your laughter, your dreams, your fears…your woes?
Is it somewhere between the laughter and the tears…
when friendship starts to grow?
Perhaps you were too young to truly comprehend…
how you’ll meet people in your life who are destined to be your friend.
People whom when you meet them…the feeling in both of you is strong…
that even though you’re strangers…you’ve known each other all along.
Or am I overthinking this?
Since everyone is different it’s impossible to know
what binds two people together…what makes their friendship grow.
And we should just be happy to be blessed with old friends…
who’ve been around since we were young…
Friends with whom we’ve laughed and cried
and played, and danced and sung.
And blessed to have made new friends we’ve met along the way
new friends we’ve added to the old…
who all help to make our life more beautiful…and a wonder to behold…
Today would be a good day to thank our old and new friends
for making our life more enjoyable, more adventurous…and sweet…
and while we’re at it to take a moment and thank…
those new friends we’ve yet to meet.
