My Faraway Friend

What I miss most, a kind thought, a small word
how we shared, the "memories" and moments
A hug in the wind--- nothing is absurd
with you. . your friendship and your tenderness

What I miss most, is how you made me smile
when we shared the humor, and not the rhyme . .
Advice and reason, truth being in style
respect was given, each and every time

What I miss most, is "anywhere we are"
we share in peace, harmony and prayers too
"Just reach out, I will never be too far"
"Think of me- turn my way," and "I'll lift you"

What I miss most, humor and not the rhyme
respect with a hug, each and every time

Paul Schneiter Date: 4/26/2020 10:33:00 PM Dear Brandy, forgive me but I like to think that possibly I am among those to whom this little jewel is addressed.

John Watt Date: 4/4/2020 7:30:00 PM Missing someone dear to us touches so many emotions - gratitude, sadness, longing, happiness, memories of good times, a sense of injustice, mutual respect for choices we've made. Beautifully woven into another sonnet, which I know would make your friend happy! Love the inclusion of meaningful songs making the words more three-dimensional. Your postscript is powerful as well, Brandy. Thank you for being who you are, and for being a good friend. Hugs ~ John Login to Reply Brandy Nicole Date: 4/4/2020 10:03:00 PM John, your thoughts hold so much truth. Thank you for placing your heart here upon the page. Many come into lives, and sometimes, you don't know the reason why. There is a reason for everything. Thank you for being my friend. I appreciate you and your kindness. My best to you. ~ Brandy

Sam Kauffman Date: 4/4/2020 2:17:00 PM Such a tender poem of longing fueled by sweet memories, Brandy. Having moved away from my childhood home and friends, I truly relate to this poem. I am sure Tommy will be touched by this tribute to your friendship. Even though it was written for him, this piece has a universal appeal to your experience. Login to Reply Sam Kauffman Date: 4/5/2020 12:16:00 PM Good morning Brandy. Thank you for your lovely message. I agree. It seems to me friendships are like a houses - they take attention, there are always improvements we can make and we treat them with tender love. Here's to friendships both near and far! Brandy Nicole Date: 4/4/2020 9:55:00 PM Hi Sam, sometimes friendships are made across time and space. Never meeting in reality, only through words. Thank you for your wonderful comment. You and your thoughts are appreciated. You are a true friend. I can tell. Take care. ~ Brandy
