Companionship

October 25

I am thankful for companionship. To have another person around who cares for you and vice versa, is the greatest comfort. To have someone you can count on, someone who will share your successes, your regrets, or your failures is worth more than life. Without companionship, we would all be alone. It doesn't have to be a marriage partner; it can be a friend, a confidant, a soulmate. But whomever that person may be, they understand you and you them.

This is a photo I took at the Baton Rouge Zoo of two Malayan tigers (I think). They are so close next to each other they are touching. And they are facing away from me and the world. Isn't that like companionship? Two friends who are close and who shelter each other from the difficulties of the world.

companionship

two of us

bonded as one

two of us

facing the sun

companions

till death do us part

confidants

from the very start

against the world

but facing it just the same

to support and protect

that is our ultimate aim.
