Lucilla Carrillo Poet Free verse

Friends

Friends

I came into this place, not knowing what to expect.
I found a lot of nice people in this special part of the
world. I have made a lot of friends. I am sure - from
heaven they were sent.

My new friends I have never seen. Only pictures of
some I have seen. I don't need to see their faces, I
have already seen their hearts.

They are true and understanding. If I need them, they
are there. It is hard to find this kind of friends - you
don't find them everywhere.

So friends - this is a special tribute to each and everyone 
of you. If I ever leave this place, I will take you in my heart.
I might make new friends, but I will never forget the old,
because the new ones will be silver, but the old ones will
always be gold...

that I have met here. May god always
bless you...
