Notes About The Poem
Written for a special person who will know it's about her as soon as she reads this.... <3<3<3

A Brand New Friend

This month I made a brand new friend
And she is such a gem!
In one way or another,
Every day we've spoken.

A connection sparked, I don't know how,
It happened very fast.
Yet, we both know we've formed a bond
That will, for a lifetime, last.

There's thirty four years between us
This was for her a concern.
But this gap means nothing
As friends soon come to learn.

We meet somewhere in the middle
As at heart I'm old - she's young 
We share a certain sense of humour
And our sense of fun.

Overcoming reservations 
And giving it a chance,
We have now seen each other
And have heard the accents dance.

What a lovely gift to get
When right out of the blue
An unexpected friend arrives
As though made just for you!

Looking at life, I can't help but feel
That you've arrived at the best time.
Thank you, my sweet dear new friend!
[ Fogive the corny rhyme... ]
