I am not one for prayer.
I am not sure about hope, several past decisions, or
the trajectory of my path, but
I am fairly confident
we shared something meaningful once.
That may be enough
to pull me through this day,
to help me remember
we can all get through anything
when friendship offers what it does, as it is meant to.
It is greater than a prayer.
It is the basis for hope.
