Until Daybreak
The wind blows
through the trees
Silver specks above
~
A red sky melts
over the horizon
Silence takes hold
~
Relentless water churns
splashing waves over
an empty shore
~
Miles of sand
Warm faces lit
around the campfire
Value and develop
a personal touch
Take time to be kind
Extend small personal gestures
It means a great deal
in an increasingly digitised world.
Good relationship
like dialogue
a two-way process
Amiable qualities
strengthen friendship.
The heart-warming kindness
of friendship
is like the precious gift of love
like the bright sparkling star
in the dark night.
Up, up and away
to the land of Oz
where the rainbow arches
across the canvas of the sky.
~
Skippy the kangaroo
hippity hop in the bush
koalas munching gum leaves
colourful feathered rosellas
flitting from stringybarks to ti-trees
eucalyptus varieties
~
Campers fishing
by the meandering river
tents pitched nearby
when day fades to nightfall
a campfire is built
friends merrily sing-along favourites
Love’s old sweet song.
Take time to listen
Show compassion and understanding
The hurting person
needs empathy.
~
A genuine interest
gives reassurance and hope
A sincerity in friendship
comforts the anxious mind.
~
God’s love and care
a sensitivity and a desire
to encourage and support
help towards the healing process.
With someone you care about
or work with
It involves
taking time
making time
spending time
getting to know the person
~
With time
perseverance
mutual understanding
acceptance
the confidence
and trust grow
in building
a good rapport.
Getting along
Giving and receiving
On the basis of understanding
What could be more rewarding?
In a friendship.
Respect, an old fashioned word maybe
Not much used in modern terminology
Friendships based on superficial relationships
Miss out the quality
That might have been,
Given due respect.
No one need be lonely,
In the friendship of His Love,
True friends He’ll bring along your path,
Pointing you to a fulfilling relationship,
Make Him your priority.
