come in all shapes and sizes
some kind, thoughtful and generous
some calculating, demanding and suffocating
some benign, some malign
some I choose to bond
some I want to shun
Learning to navigate
through the tapestry of relationships
is an art
perhaps a lost art
as the world becomes digital
and impersonal
chat room for meeting room
social network for face to face talk
Some friends are closer
and warmer
than relatives
— a nearby friend
or a neighbour
is better
than a distant relative
I want to be like King David
who treated Saul’s relations
with kindness and generosity
He let Mephiboseth
the crippled grandson
eat at the king’s table
he restored all the land
I rejoice
and give thanks
for I am part of God’s family
the Church
,and in the company
of fellow believers
who support my daily walk
with God
I have many loving
brothers and sisters in Christ
who support and pray for each other
Jesus is not ashamed
to call me brother
Indeed He is a friend
who sticks closer
than a brother
