THE FEAST by NORA B. CUNNINGHAM

First Line: THOSE WHO ARE NOT MINE
Last Line: AND THE TRUTH BETWEEN US.
Subject(s): FRIENDSHIP;
Those who are not mine
I will dine and flatter,
Entertain and strive to please,
For they do not matter.

But for friendship's feast
Compliments demean us;
Rock for seat and sky for roof
And the truth between us.
