Two friends

For Cydne West and Rosemary Gooding

Days apart, worlds apart,

two friends were born.

Much before they met,

prior to the day after the years of unknowing,

two lucky stars crossed their path

across the dawn leaving behind them

memories yet unborn.

Of course, it was God’s finger

tracing their path.

A gift made in heaven.

Perhaps, God skipped a heartbeat

and let it run down to them

on a cold December night.

A gift from his bosom, God’s bosom!

Something he delights in giving his children,

bright as the sun and sparkling like a star.

Lasting like both.

A friendship has blossomed.
