A Friend

group of friends of all colors

By Stephen Wayne Modawell

Where do they come from
Ones who just appear in life
Some finer than rum

They may not be old
without them, what was before
Their warmth, on days' cold
Their presence we seek but more
 
How we want many
Yet we find so very few
treasured like a new penny
Their value great, one will do

When found, never let go
Too many years may pass, you see
Before God allows to flow
The gift of a friend like thee.

A Real Life Love Story -- by Mukherjee, Twarita

He came into my life unexpectedly. Sort of like a movie. You know, the kind that leaves you with little tears about to fall from your eyes. A huge lump in your throat, and inspiration. A drive that makes you so sure you will find love out there. (Wishful thinking?)
