I HAVE A FRIEND

 

I am lucky to have a varied group of friends…

some similar to one another…

some as different as night and day…

but when it comes to the friendships I have formed…

I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I have a friend whose favorite season is Summer…

and another who loves the Spring…

I have a friend who loves to dance…

and another who can’t dance but loves to sing

I have a friend I’ve known most of my life…

and another I’ve only recently met…

I have a friend who dislikes animals 

and another who surrounds herself with pets.

I have a friend who loves ice cream…

another friend who only eats cake

I have a friend who hates the sight of reptiles 

and another who loves to play with snakes.

I have a friends who is an artist…

another who isn’t but loves to draw

I have a friend who is a doctor 

and another who practices law….

I have a friend who loves the beach…she loves the weather when it’s hotter

I have a friend who loves the cold and won’t go near the water.

Yes…I consider myself lucky…

in the morning when the day begins

and in the evening when it ends

at the myriad of connotations 

when I say

I have a friend.
