Koinonia

A man of many companions may come to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Proverbs 18:24

He holds a place within my heart;

In four warm years,

in laughter shining,
tight-fisted, we held our bond in revelry--

a gripping comradery of war or joy,
of sorrow or pain, or hope, or aspiring together.
"Tomorrow" was such a rich, full word.
It seemed we had nothing but tomorrow,
But glancing back, we had Today!

And what dreams we made; and what plans, laid,
as we learned our virtue, our being--
our faith.
