Bindings
By John W. Vander Velden
For each of us are bound,
With cords we recognize and those that go unnoticed.
Some are connections that hold us but briefly,
Others, attachments made, that endure many years.
Yet for each of us there are bindings
That seem as fragile as a single silk strand.
It is those delicate threads,
Which are never broken.
For they are what continually hold us,
Connecting each of us to another.
For it is with those threads we are forever bound.
