Its nice to meet new people
Get to know them
Become acquainted
Discover what makes them tick
While they do the same towards you
Sometimes things do not click
You may naturally drift apart
For no apparent reason
Without any bad feelings
Sometimes a lasting friendship blossoms
You become soulmates
Always looking out for each other
Ready to lend a helping hand
Offering a shoulder to cry on
Or just an ear to listen
You will laugh a lot together
Cry a little too
Memories will be made
You might be physically separated
Perhaps not see each other so often
Friendship will still endure
You will gain an extra brother or sister
Reunions will be sweet
Picking up where you left off
Acquaintances will come and go
Some will bloom briefly but fade away
Friendships are the perennial flowers
Sewn by the seeds of acquaintanceships

I love the line “pick up where you left off” because it is so true!

Dear Ian Hunter,
Indeed, “Friendships are the perennial flowers Sewn by the seeds of acquaintanceships”. I would hereby like to resonate with the tenet and spirit of your excellent post with the following statement by Robert Louis Stevenson:
Wishing you a productive week doing or enjoying whatever that satisfies you the most!
Happy December to you!
Yours sincerely,
SoundEagle
