When the Ship of Companionship Capsizes or Veers Off

What if the letter f stood for fine and fabulous fixings like:
a hearty, healthy and intentional bond driven by mutual care,
fondness, common interests, shared experiences and support?

For, what is friendship, at both personal and professional levels,
if it is not a voluntary tie that bonds together people who share
dual ideals, values, visions, and a sense of belonging and trust?

Don’t we see that state of being friends in a variety of setups?
When nations work in partnership or seek a frank, free exchange?
A will to cater for each other’s needs equally, honestly and humbly?

What if the letter f stood for a fire fierce like fury, fallout or fight?
Fraud? That wouldn’t be fit for a quality union, for, titanic or tiny,
we all seek hale and happy friendships with respect and reciprocity.
