It was warming to think I had found a friend
Who gently reached out and took my hand .
To share a journey tho far apart
how this friend did touch my heart.
Tho
like all journeys this one came to an end
and once again I've lost a friend.
Lessons learnt, and memories saved,
like all good angels friends show us the way.
I am honoured to announce
that this poem was a semi - finalist in the 2003 International Open
Poetry Contest and will be published in Eternal Portraits .
