Bonds of Unity

BONDS OF UNITY

Being friends heart to heart

Is being friends that never part

Though time and distance, find their way

Upon this love can hold no sway

 

As time goes on the numbers grow

The friendships flower and doth show

The love one to another doth glow

This love only the heart doth know

 

From time to time we step back

And of this love we lose track

We sometimes feel that we lack

The mood that surrounds, goes black

 

And then comes forth a new friend

And our heart doth mend

Our number of friends amend

Each heart to the other doth blend

 

And one day we shall see

A greater sense of unity

A greater way for us to be

A love from which troubles flea

 

No matter how great or small

Our friendships include one and all

And regardless of how you see

They form the bonds of one family

Friendship is a theme that I have written about from time to time.  What I have found in my life is that friendships do not stale.  What is interesting about friendships to me is that once a friend, always a friend.  I could not see someone after a period of time and yet when meeting them again, it is as if time did not pass.  I do know that this is not always the same for all of us but it is by and far the way I view friendships.  Sometimes we are friends and never see each other again and sometimes we go in and out of each others lives.  Nothing specific inspired this particular poem except to say that I have been thinking about friendships a lot recently.  If you are not on my list notifying when new poems are posted and want to be added, please send me an email.    Again I say: once a friend, always a friend.
