THE FRIEND ~ MY TRIBUTE TO THE EXPERIENCE THAT WAS KELLY L GOLLIDAY

well

i guess it's kind of like

two trees growing on

the same land

side by side

they both have seeds

different but the same

they both have fruit

just different

sometimes if it rains too much

for one the roots soak

up the extra moisture

or if there is too much sun

one shades the other

or sometimes

each just stands alone

it seemed we were like this

and our laughter

kept us from rotting

so that we could stand still

if our fruitfulness seemed

to fall from a distance

these two trees can look similar

but if you come close

you see they are so different

but yet their roots have

grown together over the years

i guess this is how we were

maybe
