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

Kelly Deschler Date: 5/5/2020 9:19:00 PM 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! Login to Reply Roger Horsch Date: 5/9/2020 9:33:00 AM Thank you so much Kelly ??. I love it when you read my poems. I love new friends in my life. You can never have too many. I really do love it when you show up. Thanks again Kelly....luv Your friend Roger PS I thought I used the word love too many times. But, then I thought about it. We can never say it enough
