Come, Let Us Be Friends

Sarah Lee Brown Fleming (1875-1963)

Come, let us be friends, you and I,



E’en though the world doth hate at this hour;



Let’s bask in the sunlight of a love so high

That war cannot dim it with all its armed power.

Come, let us be friends, you and I,

The world hath her surplus of hatred today;



She needeth more love, see, she droops with a sigh,

Where her axis doth slant in the sky far away.

Come, let us be friends, you and I,

And love each other so deep and so well,



That the world may grow steady and forward fly,

Lest she wander towards chaos and drop into hell.

A gentle reminder of how we do things: 🐱🐶🐦

Do not troll the diary. If you hate pootie diaries, leave now. No harm, no foul.

Please do share pics of your fur kids! If you have health/behavior issues with your pets, feel free to bring it to the community.

Pooties are cats; Woozles are dogs. Birds... are birds! Peeps are people.

Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. If you’re having “issues” with another Kossack, keep it “out there.” This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly.
