This blessed moment of acquaintance <br />This unintentional but fateful meeting <br />A consoling presence, soothing breeze <br />This pleasant spirit, a newfound friend <br />Sent to ease my painful humbling here <br />A morning greeting to prepare each day <br />A smile more pleasant and sweeter than <br />A congeries of ten thousand joyous roses <br />Can inspire or muster in a lover’s heart <br />Invoking a gleeful smile within my soul <br /> <br />Here, amid such arrogance and ego play <br />Waltz in a tender hand, this blessed air <br />Of refreshment and due benevolence <br />To warm my heart and uplift my spirit <br />To brighten my countenance with hope <br />To assure me the coming of better days <br />And this blessed soul, this angel of hope <br />This gleeful presence, this joyous heart <br />Does comfort my soul at every meeting <br />Herein, a season of love and friendship <br />Ordained and guided by the hand of God <br />‘Tis the unfolding of a lifetime memory <br />Forever etched in blessed acquaintance<br /><br />Oyekake Satty (O. S.) Joshua<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-season-of-love-and-friendship/
