My New Hampshire Friend

I have a friend in New Hampshire, I’ve known for eighteen years
We’ve had unbelievable adventures, many places that we went
The security of our connection eases stress and looming fears
We’ve had chaotic times, fun times, in all the time we’ve spent

She has seen my laughter, tears and anger, all emotions there are
Accepts me for who I am, through every experience that evolves
I will always be grateful, as she truly is one of a kind, a shining star
There are not enough words to thank her, in all this that revolves

You (already) know of my fondness for NH, having spent four years there. Happy to hear about your treasured friend there. (Does she have a New Hampshire accent?). Warmest wishes, Gershon

Yes, I do remember that Gershon. She has been here for 14 years, but not much of the NH accent. Thank you for your comment and warm wishes :)

Heidi..value her with all your heart. These types of frends are unique and our soul sisters! I miss mine very much. But I can still see her smile, and tears when we laughed so hard together. We were genuine with each other. There is a hole in my universe now that she is gone. Panagiota. oxox
