Friendship is Like a Crepe Maker

Friendship is…like a crepe maker.

The main purpose of an electric crepe maker

Is to provide the heat

To cook the batter

To generate a thin crepe

To fill with sweet or savory ingredients

For the delight of the one

Lucky enough to eat it.

But the secondary and unintended purpose

On a chilly Sunday morning

At an outdoor market

Is to radiate heat

So that those who pass by

Or those who wait for their breakfast

To be prepared

Can feel the comfort of

Enjoying the warmth.

Friendship is primarily a set of

Experiences and
Feelings

Enjoyed by those who are willing

To invest in time

To share

Together.

Bur as friends grow closer,

And influence each other,

And bring others into the intertwining of lives,

Or project what they learn

In friendship outside the intertwining,

The friendship brings comfort

And warmth

To those in a larger community

Of passers by

And those who hang around

In life.
