Three friendly quilts

Three strings

each woven from a different material

braided

into one.

That's us

we're all different

but we found ways to wind our hearts together

how to connect with each other.

The capability of friendship

talking about nothing

and everything

at the same time

a balanced relationship of laughs and tears

hopes and dreams

longings and sadness.

We balance one another

a three-sided scale

a circle

where each person is next to everyone else.

We're each quilts

and when we start to fray and tear

we get patches

memories of hardships

but souvenirs of connection

love

friendship.
