Robin L. Gass Poet Sonnet

Ode To Nancy

In precious moments that I am with you
together sitting side by side we talk
my heart is glad to spend this time with you
as down the paths of memory we walk.

The little girls we were have long since grown
there is so much we've shared along the way
through joys and sorrows that we both have known
our laughter and our tears have paved the way.

Now we both have reached our middle years
as days unfold our future we will see
together we will face our joys and fears
our friendship will endure eternally.

I'm blessed to have this friendship dear and true
with all my heart you know that I love you.




This is dedicated to my dearest and closest friend
who I met when we were 8 years old.  For 38 years
this friendship has grown strong and beautiful.  
I love you, Nancy!

Carolyn Devonshire February 21, 2009 at 5:19 PM Robin, I hope you have shared this wonderful tribute with Nancy. I know exactly how you feel about her. When my childhood friend Barbara drove 400 in a blizzard to attend my father's funeral, I felt blessed. Family functions have never been much fun since my husband died. (He was older than I, but only 53.) Thanks for reading "Too Fast for Me." My sister called and someone robbed my Dad's house tonight. Fiends who read obits and feel the deceased are fair game. Love you & your work!

John Rhinem February 10, 2009 at 2:38 PM Smile-What a wonderful statement from "Your Precious Heart Towards Your Lives Dearest Friend!"-It is good to have these friends; to have these networks in life; to always turn to, within any emotional moment which may arise within ones life!? "Hello Gifted & Beautiful Robin!" Sorry that I did not get back to You yesterday upon this, but glad to have done so today-to know you have such a friend makes my heart happy-for "You Are A Very Special Lady Unto My Heart!!!" Love Always, John!:)
