Friendship
granite rock
with a bit of shale
ever solid
yet room for change
giving space
but always there
gift so strong
yet full of light
(Note--Friendship is such a blessing in my life. Thank you to all of my friends for this great gift.)

Dear Karen -
ReplyDeleteIn the sun of "Friendship" is a wonderful way to start the morning. Nothing like the graciousness and acceptance of a friend like you. If it weren't for this simple virtue, life would be lonely indeed.
