On Friendship..

"YOU WERE THERE FOR ME"

Erin Porter

Words escape me at this moment that seems like the end yet it is only the beginning when friendships are close and dreams are far you were there for me.

Tears fill me with memories of both good and bad some nearly forgotten yet all dear to the heart you were there for me.

In times of trouble and in times of thanks you stood by my side and held me up.

Through your ever-patient ears to your comforting hugs you were there for me.

From that first day when I saw you and knew that you would love me

For who I was you were there for me.

And until the day when we are old and gray

I will always know that you are there for me.

Between The Miles
by Heather Stoop
Because existence can become severe

in one day,

just sense me and

I'll be there.

In the minds eye,

I'm not so far away.

If you hold out your hand,

in the whispers,

I'll become the zephyr.

and besiege you.

If your eye's upon the stars,

in the crystalline darkness,

I'll become the moon.

And the light shall guide you.

If you rest upon the ground,

in the warmth,

I'll become the grass.

And embrace you.

If you turn outside,

in the wetness,

I'll become the rain.

An upon your forehead, kiss you.

If you free the air,

in the light of day,

I'll become the sun.

And smile for you.

Between the miles-if you need me.

If you need a friend.

Let me be the friend,

I want to be.

Dedicated to my dear friends across the miles. You know who you are
