Connection!

Connections of the heart
Hard to wrap your head around
What is it that attracts you
To someone and
Compels you to extend a hand in friendship

What is that little voice that Insists on bring heard

These connections do not fade with time or distance
or hardships met on the way

They get stronger
As the years go by
And with each challenge met on the way

Connections of the heart
Other-worldly they are
Not limited to this plane of dust
They transcend space and time
