Poem
I have a friend that I met from across the World We are about as different as two friends could be And yet we are both of this World We are both the same as two people could be. Our Religons are totally different Our ages aren't even close And yet we have this really great friendship Who knows why? Who really knows? She is young and Beautiful She hasn't yet walked through Motherhood's Door I am the old and Seasoned One I have seen it all before. We both have a love of knowledge We both love learning about Time and Space We are both bucking all the conventions About what 'IS' a 'Woman's Place!' Of what is true friendship formed? Of what is it born? Does it come from Tiffany's? Can it span across the seas? Is it in the clothes that we both like to wear? Is it in the way we both wear our hair? Is it in the words that between the two of us are spoken? Is it in the ideas that we have shared? I think Friendship is born out of a mutual respect I think it is a mutual admiration It is recognizing someone for who they really are inside And not from what country they live in Or which neighborhood in which they reside. It is sharing laughter and sharing tears It is talking to each other about your greatest fears It is getting to know one another In spite of the differences in our lives and in our years. And loving every minute of it. I have found out during this past year During this new friendship's time That friendships can and do Cross religious and generational lines. Personalities are the important thing They are the things that really shine Nationalities are just and only words And Religious views don't even matter. *This poem is dedicated to my friend *Rock'n'Love* who checked in with me from *Across the World* on New Year's Eve and made it more than *Fun!* (January 1, 2011 Wausau, Wisconsin) (c) Copyright 2010 by Christine A Kysely, All Rights Reserved
