A Spark

I find when I do not hear from a friend, I begin to worry about him, or her, and wonder what is happening in their lives. I know that the younger ones are busy with their jobs and have the same everyday chores to get done and cannot write or call every day, but when weeks or months go by and not one word, then I begin to fret. I know some friendships are not meant to last forever and that is sad, but then growing up and growing older changes lives and it is meant that we lose someone along the way. I only wish that when the growth change comes about the person or persons would say good by and leave you with fond memories of time well spent. The silence and the wondering leaves one with an empty feeling and a bit of sorrow for a friendship that was left unshared.

A Spark . . .

I've never me a stranger in my entire life
I look inside to find God's tiny hidden light
The spark is there, in everyone,
not easily found, it's true
but take the time and you'll be glad
to make a friend or two

They come in all sizes and shapes
all manner of hair and face
some are tall and some are short
some are plump or thin
some gracious, some snarly
a challenge to behold
but in the eyes there resides
a love they wish to share
all you have to do is smile
and friendship is right there


So today, remember your friends and if you have issues get them out and over with and cement your relationships. If you have outgrown, outsourced, or just want to explore new and different friendships, then be sure to say goodbye in a loving way and get on with your life and they can get on with theirs. See what happens when I don't hear from you . . . I get philosophical . . . so keep in touch and send a hug and know there is one waiting . . . just for you. Hugs to all.
