Like a wine glass overflowing
Onto the pavement
Or a sunflower slowly opening
To the sun
Grounded like oak
Silly like cheddar cheese
Be open to life’s adventures and fun
Remember to let the pages tell the story
Even though it’s the hardback
Cover they first see
Friendship is a knitting of space and together
And is worth the effort to allow it all
To simply be.
