The Ribbon of

We pray together.

We dine together.

We laugh together.

We share our thoughts, our hopes, our memories together

AND yes, we share our fears together.

Still we are so different.

The roads we traveled to arrive here never ran parallel.

The passions we savored were never alike.

The needs we felt were diverse.

The loves we knew shared no identity.

Yes, we are so different

Still each time we meet, another stitch is sewn into the beginning of a ribbon of friendship

Because

We pray together

We dine together

We laugh together

and we share our hopes and fears together

And as we share our days together

thus the joyful ribbon of friendship is completed.
