FRIENDSHIPS
Casual friendships come and go, much as the currents
ebb and flow.
The swells and ripples that they make leave mixed emotions
in their wake.
For some friends drift with changing tide.
They come on strong and then subside,
Only to crash upon the shore,
Disappear and be seen no more.
Others are strong enough to stand the changing tides and
shifting sand.
And what sets these friendships apart?
Affinity of mind and heart,
Love much more than just a token,
Thoughts understood yet unspoken,
A common bond,
A mutual goal,
An understanding heart and soul,
A hand outstretched in time of need,
A thoughtful and a friendly deed.
These little things that mean so much are strokes of
friendships velvet touch.
