never an overreach


deep surprise, discovered recently
entirety of life, even destiny,
bound in kinship's similarity,
drawing close, eventuality

change of schedule, meeting places,
activity realigned, seeking faces,
accommodation adjustment
for sharing quality time

touched, shared, encouraged to fly
friend's impact, sustaining life
finding ways to overcome deficit
one to build on, not to risk it

difference made here, inestimable
willing to do whatever it takes
priority encounter raises the stakes,
never an overreach

Love how you've interwoven the different obstacles that ultimately lead to "willing to do whatever it takes..." Lovely, Larry

Happy Father's Day! :))

I think you know that I am not a poetry person for me. It is a struggle for me. I liked this one and especially the photograph of the painting. Cute.
