Friends Yet To Meet

Since December, I've been on the Soup
Writing those words of mind,
reading such wonderful poetry
of writers oh so kind.

I've made acquaintances along the way
some that I hold so dear,
writers from so far away
but yet so very near

With some I've had conversation
through e-mail, through poet praise,
some I've read bewilderingly
as if walking through a maze

There's some that I call sweetie
though all of you I bless,
some have shown compassion 
through my ailing mess

Pray, one a growing relationship
from the very start,
whom recently I've spoken with
about relationships of the heart

please don't take that out of context
your first thought is probably wrong,
because the heart of which I speak of
is of a Spiritual song

For an hour we spoke of Jesus
of God and the Trinity,
and of what our relationships with them 
meant to him and me

We have both had some same experiences
back in our younger times,
we've walked away from Jesus
but, now back with him we feel alive

I thank God for his gift to me
That I met this special friend,
The Soup brought us together
we'll be together to the end.


To my friend in Christ,whom guided us to meet on the Soup and become fast friends
in His Grace and undying Love....Bob Dufresne....God Bless Bob and thanks for being my
Friend....Taz
