Dear David, your poem is a sweet and nostalgic tribute to a special friendship. The image of a leaf's imprint in cement is a lovely metaphor for the lasting impact of meaningful connections. Beautifully captures the essence of soul friendships. Beautiful! Beautiful!

Thanks Sara, I did it in rhyme first, but then found the contest was in free-verse, so I did an unrhymed version. I don't know which I like better.
