A Great Friendship

In its own natural time and pace... the river flows.
The water flowing slowly or rushing swiftly
Depending on the terrain and the season.


So too - with a life-long friendship.


Sometimes our friendship will roar...
Like the water rushing over a waterfall.


Sometimes a friendship will lie silent - still and contained.
Like the water we find in the many deep pools.


Sometimes our friendship will flow as gentle...
As a river empting into the ocean.



The sun shines and the wind blows...
And high in the mountains - the rain falls.
To begin the process over, again and again.


Allowing for change and renewal...
Are what those who care - do.


I know this to be true...
For over the years... my friend
I've come to know the above - with you.
