Friendship, Handing, Fresh by chris the poet People don't always pay friendship the mind it deserves preferring to observe it as a secondary, passive connection compared to those deemed more worthy, romantic relationships, familial relationsh eee ’ I won't insist upon some reversal in the volta turn of this poem, where like Jesus I insist that 1 leave your family or otherwise behind to follow some path of brotherhood and sisterhood through the Worldeece I would only insist on this--that the friéndships we grow bring us as fresh, bountiful, and vital a harvest to our lives as any other fruit or vegetable of the heart... The heart that you are handing in one hand to your lover is the same heart you hand to your mother, and the heart you hand to your friend is no other, despite any difference in how you present it, how it is taken and keptece Your friendships, if you are blessed, may be your most long lasting, essential relationships in this life, your relationships of all kinds to other people who keep you likewise, the most important treasures you'll find in your days... Keep eachother's backs, keep eachother's hearts!
