Close Friends From Afar - Co-Write 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
