Friends
Gratitude,
Friends “come alongside”*
Those hard places
Those places of joy
Walking along the way,
Mountains high, green fields, and hard fought valleys
Kindness, listening, letters, and Words to lift, lighten, and nudge
They stay the storm,
This life’s moments “break over us”
Friends ride out crashing, surprising waves,
Beginning and ending
Highs and lows,
Spectacular and common times
With us
Seasons of this fleeting life
Older and gray, the passing years
Thankful, preserving, the most
“Valuable of all possessions”
Important times, God times, grateful times with beautiful souls
Friends,
Glimpse poetry by Joe Holuta
