Many Miles Away

I have a friend that is special to me
who lives many miles away
We both wonder how the other is doing
almost each and every day

I can imagine the smile that is on her face 
every time I hear her laugh
I can only hope that the laughter I hear
was made on my behalf

I love the times that she talks to me
about her family and her friends
There are days we talk about anything
and, I hope it never ends

So, when I'm happy or when I'm sad
and, I don't know what to say
I just call and talk to my special friend
who lives many miles away

The internet can be a blessing when it comes to friendships because it allows us to keep in touch with them. But, it can also be a curse when we make new friends online that we may never meet in person... Still, just having that one friend to talk to is a wonderful thing no matter how far away they might be!... Keep up the great work Roger. Your poetry is always so well written and nice to read my friend!

Hey Roger, hehehe, Your friend sounds like a very sweet person. OoooOOOooo, this is the kind of friend I need. Wink! Someone who cares, about others no matter how near or far. Someone who cares if your smiles are being met. A lovely poem, and a sugar sweet dedication. I'm glad I took these 5 minutes, just to read this poem. Have yourself an awesome day. I got to fix the Bluetooth on my new device...... xox~ Linda
