The Silver Cord of Friendship
The silver cord of friendship
Runs all throughout one's life
And strings together people:
Their souls with all their strife
-
It weaves a precious fabric
So delicate, unseen
And as it's underlayment
Love is the go-between
-
For truly makes no dif'rence
If old friend or a new
When hearts are knit together,
And kinship is the glue
-
A moment spent together
While time is held at bay:
Becomes a saving lifeline
To cheer a heart that's grey
-
The silver cord is strengthened
As life's events unfold
The tie that binds together
Will turn in time to gold

David grew up in Mexico. He brings a unique perspective to life in rural Michigan. Most of his poems are written spontaneously, as things catch his attention or humor him. Some of his pieces are lighthearted while others broach deeper subjects. Coffee, DIY projects, and writing are his passion. Most his poems are structured, but he does enjoy writing free verse writing from time to time.
