Reflections On Friendship
Friendships are like balloons.
Once we let them go, they may never return.
Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives
And finding solutions for our problems
That we don’t notice that they have gone.
At times we get so caught up in arguments
About who is right or wrong
That we forget what right or wrong is.
Every so often we don’t realise
What true friendships are,
Until we have lost one of them.
As I don’t want to let that happen to you and me,
I tune my soul vibrations into the frequency of yours,
So that we shall never be separated from each other.
Be kind and loving to everyone you meet
And bear in mind that
Each has their own battles to fight,
Inner and outer ones.
The happiness of our life depends
On the quality of our thoughts and
The heaviest things to carry are grudges.
They disappear on their own with
A spiritual approach to our existence.
Our word is the one thing we can
Give away and at the same time keep.
And we are lying most of all
When we deceive ourselves.
Those who lack the courage to start
Friendships or anything else in this life of ours,
Have finished before they’ve begun.
Remind them that the only thing
That cannot be recovered is
Wasted time and that
Ideas can only work
When we ground them
On the Earth.
The pursuit of true and lasting happiness
In our present existence is a futile chase
And a wasted lifetime.
For as long as we are searching for it there,
It’s bound to escape us.
It is never too late to make a fresh start
With becoming the person we really want to be
And life is too short to spend it with regrets,
So let’s get going with it and
Love the people who treat us right.
Forget about the ones who don’t and
Just leave them behind.
It’s good to know that everything in this life
Happens for a wise higher reason.
We are here to learn from our mistakes and
Whenever life offers us second chance
For experiencing something,
So we can do better, this time round,
Let’s grab the opportunity with both hands and
Welcome the changes this brings to our life.
Nobody in their right senses
Would pretend that earthly life is easy.
But a more spiritual approach to it
Helps us to accept with gratitude
Whatever the Universe brings us,
As that’s the only way any one of us can grow
In wisdom and understanding and
At the same time redeem their Karmic debts.
And no matter how someone hurts us,
The love in our heart for them does not need to die.
Love is not like a switch that is flicked on and off.
It doesn’t just go away.
Everybody who comes into our life
In some way is sent to teach us how to love wisely,
The way the Great Father/Mother loves us,
Totally and unconditionally.
Loving those who love us is easy,
But learning to love the unloving ones is
A much more important part of this lesson
That’s the only way the ability of loving
Can become ours and remain with us, forever.
Kind and loving thoughts and words
Build and strengthen friendships.
And there’s no room for sharp tongues,
For they can cut the best ones to pieces
And destroy them.
Besides, when the destructive work
We are allowing this deadly weapon to do
Returns to us in due course,
As by the power of the Universal law of Karma
It surely will and must,
Later in this lifetime or in a future one,
We won’t know what’s hit us.
