"One of the most beautiful qualities of friendship is to understand and to be understood." -Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Significance
Written by Lauren McIntosh
Can't touch, can't hold, can't see it's form
Can change, can feel, can see us transform
Not easy, it's work, and sometimes too hard
But worth the steps closer to the eye of the storm
Too different, too far, too misunderstood
But somehow it slips into something so good
Day and night are two separate worlds
Yet fade into each the way that they should
Some short, some long, some circle around
There are even the ones that leave you unsound
But then there are those that open your eyes
And those are the ones that are greatly profound
The greatest things will always be hard
Insignificance isn't a cause to be scarred
Stretch for the things that are so out of reach
For these are the things you'll regret to discard
Understand, grow closer, find common land
It's brighter and lighter the more that you stand
Give up and you'll lose the greatest of gifts
A friendship that gives you some meaning in life,
Though strange and unplanned.
"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit." -Albert Schweitzer
