Jack Horne Poet Verse

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

Carolyn Devonshire August 28, 2011 at 5:33 PM 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
