The Fruition Of Friendship
~*Marge Tindal*~

Ten years ago I first went online
Didn't know a soul out there at all
Entered a site called 'Find-A-Friend'
where I put out a friendship call~

Got some hits from special folks
who each came to be
someone very, very special
as friends to live in the heart of me~

First was Don Anger, my Warrior,
who was the alter Spirit of my heart
Loving friend and mentor he became
before from this earth he had to depart~

Also Marti, from New England, who I've come to love
a special lady sent from above
We still stay in touch over the miles
someday I hope to see her true-to-life smile~

Along came Betty from the South
who exchanged emails with me online
She moved to Oklahoma ... then on to the Virginia hills
We've maintained a friendship, via cyber-space,
now the time has come to meet ... it simply gives me chills~



She arrived here to meet me
I was as eager as eager could be
Waiting ... anticipating ...
Along with little Landry Leigh~

She came with her hubby, Gregg,
friends Jeannie and Dave too
Landry taught Jeannie how to play
‘Go Fish’ and ‘Apples and Worms’ too~



My Bill joined us for our visit,
much too short for us all
But, the day goes down in my memories
As a favorite one that I always will recall~


Betts, you are just EXACTLY who I knew you’d be
Landry Leigh thought you were neat too !
Thank you, my friend, for coming
We sure do love you~

I know you were anxious to meet her, from the letter you wrote to Muys (she sends you her love). Always nice to meet our cyberfriends in the flesh. I can see you all had a great time.

Love and hugs, Titia

Ah, this is the heart and soul of true friendship, expressed in pictures that please the eye, and words that warm the heart!

So wonderfully rendered!

Wow Marge, that is so neat. I am hoping someday you and I will meet face to face, too. I missed my chance of meeting Betty, when she was here.
