A kindred spirit halfway 'round the world I can not see his face only his heart His kind words and verses reveal his pearls Exuding confidence and mind so sharp Does he hoist his sail with wind in his face And drop his anchor in quiet lagoons Or keep wind to the rear as if to race Send dreams up high like helium balloons Does he smile and whistle returning home Reconnecting to his past and old friends Maybe stay in the present ne'er to roam And live within and on no one depend I think it would be nice to sit and talk And to share some laughs on a friendly walk an original poem by the "poemdog" Daniel Turner (DT) Pearls referring to pearls of wisdom in line 3

Thank you, Funom. As we are now all connected virtually we make friends around the world of common bonds and interests, which to me is exhilarating. I am glad to consider you, one of such. I appreciate your kindness. Peace my friend:)

To feel safe to express oneself is a wonderful thing. Be it sitting face to face or virtual is immaterial. Thank you Daniel for being one of those people to me.

Jean, I think if we ever met face to face we would act like we've known each other all of our lives. You are a warm and engaging friendly soul. I am proud to call you friend. Thank you for the visit and the kind comments. Peace and love to you dear lady:)

this is very touching, daniel! it is amazing how we can connect with people "halfway 'round the world," as you say so eloquently in your poem, and feel like we know them - just through their written words...

Yes ma'am I have made many friends. I suppose the internet is good for at least one thing. I always enjoy your friendly visits and kind comments. Peace to you dear lady:)

I second that emotion! Like I told Jan long ago, wouldn't it be awesome to have a convention in Vegas and actually meet and even honor some of the outstanding members of our sanctuary? Daniel you should blog about it and see what kind of response you get. I would, but I can't find the time.

It sounds good in theory but it is nearly impossible. Not everyone has the means to travel or the health. We must be satisfied with our virtual friendships. Always a pleasure my dear Jeannie:)
