The following poem was written for my friend, Kate Lawson. We recently reconnected after many years of separation. I am blessed to have her in my life again.
With Fine Gold Thread
With fine gold thread
we wove a bond so strong
that unbeknownst to us
would last many years
beyond our parting . . .
like an exquisite garment
wrapped in tissue paper
placed in a Metropolitan
gift box tucked away
high on a closet shelf
waiting to be unwrapped . . .
this exquisite gift is ours again
let no separation of miles
divide this gold threaded
timeless bond shared
by two friends
