Triangle Friendship
Harriet Annie Wilkins
I’ll take a triangle friendship please
you get to stop and pause along the path of the triangle
take a deep breath and look around at each corner
see what you have before you
enjoy the moment before you move on to the next corner
With a circle friendship
everything goes round and round much too fast to take in and enjoy
one friend may speed way ahead in a circle friendship
and leave the other behind
gives you no time to see and appreciate what you have in a friend
gives no time to put the breaks on and stop from hurting the one you love
A triangle is never ending as a circle is
but with the triangle you pause
you look around
you see who is there with you
you get to live in that moment
and you look forward to the next corner of the triangle when you both meet again
So for those of you in a circle friendship,
take a hammer out bang that circle into a triangle
and say hello to a new friendship you have begun
and enjoy the corners it has with the one you love.
Today is the start of a new day,
today is the day of the “Triangle Friendship”
one i look forward to taking the time to pause at each corner
and appreciating my friend
enjoying the calm, slow, steady path of
corner to corner to corner
with each other
