Across Oceans

My soul would soar
across oceans
to friends in distress,
hoping to  bring comfort,
whispering words of love.

For Catie’s obe contest

You said more in five lines than I could in a much longer poem. Catie's going to love this one too, Jack. I wonder if she knows what a great friend you are to other Soupers. I'll be waiting for your soul to arrive tonight! Best wishes in the contest, dear. Love, Carolyn
