The Way

It’s not quite clear how friendships start when meeting someone new.

Instant connections often spark a friendship follow-through.

It’s easy from day one, it seems, when the laughter starts to flow -

Yet an outstretched hand, even genuine, might become a row.

So then what’s next? Should bitterness overtake our lives?

Or be so fake it’s obvious we’re wearing a disguise?

Just let time work its magic; try to find ways to relate –

If that friendship’s truly meant to be, leave it up to fate.

Nothing can be forced or pushed – don’t tell me how to feel!

Do ‘day to days’, forge ahead, you’ll find you both will heal

From jumping off on that wrong foot – and falling in that rut!

Learn to talk. Communicate. Make choices from your gut!

Make bad jokes, laugh and goof, and have an absolute BLAST!

Eventually you learn you found a friendship that will last!!!

Don’t try too hard…what’s meant to be will fall into your heart...

Best of friends grow ties that bind the slower that they start.

So you start there, and I’ll start here – I'll meet you there halfway!

So blessed we traveled the distance... This friendship found its way!
