Each day here on this blue and green globe
I meet new people.
Well maybe not every day...
Looking back I see I had no clue how those people would improve my life when I met them.
How could I know when first connecting?
And now they are treasures, each one.
Some friends from school: high school or college, no less dear for all the years that have passed.
Other friends new know me to the core.
They help me up when I stumble.
Or remind me who I am when I lose my way.
They see me; they get me.
At this moment, when hope comes and goes, I remember that help comes in unexpected ways.
And the gift of friends, old and new, is a treasure beyond measure.
I just need to be open to the possibility of meeting my new best friend later today.
