Ignites human cause
Extending life's hand, earnest
in bids of friendship

Occasions merit
sincerity in wit and
like indiscretion

Devoid of feigned feuds
facades of conflicts all for
warmth of human touch

Written for Chev's CARPE DIEM #243 with prompt - companions
and Bjorn's hosting at d'Verse's OpenLinkNights week #104
