For My Best Friend - Kelly


To Touch the Heart

To touch the heart of someone dear -
though it might sometimes cause a tear
to fall or rest upon the cheek -
Should be something all should seek.
For often hearts - not touched at all -
start hardening and shrinking small.
And then the time - it takes to grow
A loving heart - is very slow.
For hearts expand as those who care -
extend their love and - let us share
a moment, space or special phrase
that eases pain on dreary days.
Or simply starts our lips to smile
and brightens time for just a while.
The ways and kinds and means of sharing -
it seems to me - Are based on caring.
And though we're often worlds apart.
You still can touch my very heart.
You make me smile or shed a tear.
And I'll remember year to year
Just how your 'touching' helped me grow.
And I just thought I'd tell you so.


Kelly, I miss you so much that it hurts sometimes. And even though we are now miles apart, you are always in my heart. I think of you often my dear friend. I love you like a sister.

I found the poem somewhere a long time ago, and now it reminds me so much of you.
