Friends Corner

I walked along a pleasant stream

And admired the unearthed stone bed

Expressed by the passing of time

And the gentle fingers of the waters

Majestic ridges and crevices declared themselves

The cool waters provided life to all around –

Plants and animals, and lent comfort to the air

Peaceful patterns soothing to all

Who cared to visit its path

As I came to a fork in the stream

I knew not which path to take

So I sat in musing on a large stone

And watched the two distinct streams

Each with their own paths and origins

Each with their own strength and beauty

They joined together at just the right time

Together, being more able and beautiful

Than just the two alone

As I sat on that stone lost in thought

I called that place Friends Corner

The place where two forces joined together –

A Family, the deepest of Friends

I thrust my fingers into their Waters – their Life

And ran my hand along its crevices

Carved out by their own will and energy

Granted them by God Almighty

Etched by tears of sorrow, joy, and laughter

And it’s a beautiful path together – a Journey

Until the intertwined waters release

Emptying together into the river – a greater Energy

And the spirit returns unto God who gave it.
