As you go through life you create many connections with others. Most of those connections have little to no true worth. Other connections are worthwhile and meaningful. This poem was presented to me as a result of a meaningful and worthwhile connection with someone else. By sharing it with you, I hope you will gain something from it as well.

For this whom suffer me
And what are friends in all this life
And where does one find such things
For in their hands there is no knife
The brain no unkind seeds
They see the unwashed linen
Hear you as you fart
On smelling thy fetid breath
Offer just a drink
Before they go off to barf
They are the ones who groped
with me , in dark murky emotional night
to find the wall and then the gate
which led toward the light
They walked with me along the path
Of perilous ascent
And pressed me against the bluff
From falling off the ledge
Have held my hand
Wiped my tears
Told me I was not stupid
When I was shot by Cupid
Suffered a fool to be a fool
Never batting of an eye
When all the while there screamed
A voice "why is he so stupid"
Oh can't he see the path ahead
It is surely plain to see
Just drink the cup of truth
There is no other need
So whence come such as these
They surely be not easily made
Some special forge there be
To create such precious metal
To know the worthless stone
Within their hand, yet restrain
From casting it asunder
Some value yet they wonder

It is nice to be appreciated.

***Do You Have a Magic Arrow?
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could own a magic bow and arrow that had an arrowhead filled with love and shoot people with it when they are being mean, hateful, nasty, or spiteful. When the arrow hit them, it would spread love and joy throughout their hearts and bodies. They would immediately turn into the kind, loving people you’d like them to be. You can have such an arrow.
