She’s miles away a drive half a day To far to just drop in Close to my heart even though we’re apart I wonder how she’s been Remembering the past oh what a blast The laughter we did share Some memories bad it makes me so sad To her I wasn’t always fair No matter the strain maybe causing her pain Beside me she would stand Standing so strong even though I was wrong She’d always take my hand More than the bad good times we did have Didn’t matter what we had done Times we’d get crazy or sit and be lazy We’d always have great fun Deepest thoughts we share, comfort in despair Or listen quietly for a while Go out of our way to make each others day Or just share a friendly smile All of this and more may it keep an open door Until a long life’s end I hold dear to me and may she always be This, my very Best friend After twenty years of laughter and tears One thing I have learned Friends you will find but please keep in mind A true friend is something earned To my friend Sheri from your friend Sheri A gem so precious and rare The irony of a name both being the same Yet another thing we share |

deVine...Thank you! I thought this was a good way to show her how much I appreciate her! Better than just sending a card! Hey Mom.....Glad you like it! Sorry, didn't mean to make you cry... And she will see it soon, I hope! |

This was so wonderful! You and your friend are very lucky indeed to share such a wonderful friendship. My best friend and I live in different states, and though at times the miles does get to me, I could never imagine being best friends with anyone else! I can see from your poem that you feel quite similar about this friend of yours! Take care, AMY ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |

Rainbow.......It certainly is a rock, and it will knock down anything or anyone that gets in the way! Thank you Martie! Aimster.......Her and I also live in different states, and it is hard! I wish she would have never moved. But she is always just a phone call away It's nice to have such a good friend isn't it? We are truly blessed....I'm glad you too have a great relationship. Thank you for your thoughts. [This message has been edited by Irie (edited 03-19-2000).] |

Good friends are hard to find! Enjoyed it!"Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O,no! it is an ever-fixed mark....William Shakespeare |
