Notes About The Poem

So Many Miles Apart-A Collaboration

I'm feeling lonely and blue, thinking of you
Trying to figure out what I need to do
to reconnect. I'm not sure what went wrong
but we haven't been together for far too long.

Distance has kept us so many miles apart
and it's caused an ache in my heart.
Lately, fond thoughts of you cross my mind.
Friendships like ours are difficult to find.

I'm sitting here, wondering if you
might be feeling this loneliness, too.
Let's get together sometime soon, my friend
and reminisce about us over a long weekend.


* Thank you, Danny Turner for offering me your lovely lines 
as a foundation for our collaboration.  Hugs, dear friend.

Staying connected takes some effort...but it's a big part of what we have in this existence!!! Sending smiles!!!!
