One in a Million

Out'd cosy warm waters
We face the world
Within cocoon stay for five
Little butterfly break and fly

From Fresh foreign faces
To each other live's places
So long had time walk
To see strangers in flock
As such, precision crafted destinies
To set paths into unities

In proverbial tone
'100 lifetimes to meet in same raft
1000 to rest on same wollen bath'
Worthy friends are hard to seek
Thus I hold all in reach

Commentary

Out of the sudden, while waiting for Eric to arrive for Chinese New Year visiting, I contempt the value of a friend. By the time I wrote this poem, I've sent 4 friends off in the airport to pursue their dreams overseas......

I begin to wonder the fate in play for 2 person to meet and to become great friends, or just friends. Came a conclusion of the immensity of fate at work, to think, there are about 6000 millions of people walking Earth today... Ask ourselves, DO WE HAVE 6000 FRIENDS?

Thus, a friendship is really "ONE IN A MILLION"
