My friend gave me
A gift for life
With all grace
I took it
and wear
on my neck
like a necklace
as if I won
a memento
in return of my love
and that is
of grief and sorrow.
If we all keep our friends gifts as a necklace in memento we would do a jumping dance like an African Masai: -)
Nice message - accept gift from a friend, whatever it is and bear it. Thank you.
You not share the grief and sorrow of your friends but wear them as necklace, wonderful use of metaphors.
