Close Friends From Afar

Close Friends from Afar - Co-written with Jack Horne
From across the sea, good wishes I receive: Cards, greetings, special gifts from a kind man I've never met. But it's the warmth he offers that makes a difference in my life. How blessed I am to have such a compassionate friend; The Soup not only unites nations, but creates welcome friendships It's been six months, but it seems like a lifetime, The bond of friendship so strong, Cemented by shared interests and laughter, Brought together by passion for poetry; My life wouldn't be the same without her.
*Entry for Tracie Edwards' "Grab a Mate and Collaborate" contest on the theme of friendship. Co-written by Carolyn Devonshire and Jack Horne

Dear Jack, thank you for collaborating with me on this poem. I missed a period at the end of "friendships" but will add that in now. I don't know if anyone will realize just how strong our friendship is, but you are a great man to have on my team. Love to you and Sue, Carolyn
