You caught me by surprise
On a night I was alone
Not expecting to see anyone
Just a quiet night at home

I was hesitant at first
Not believing it was you
Then I knew there was no doubt
From the words I was to view

It had been so long since I'd seen you
For you had left without a trace
I had questioned what went wrong
As many tears fell down my face

I buried myself in my poetry
Sharing the feelings within my soul
But there was something missing
In my heart there was a hole

But now you have returned
Our friendship remains ever true
As I look back with much fondness
To the day I first met you

* * * * *

This was written for a friend named
Dave from the U.K. who I met nearly
three years ago.We have never met
in person but share a special bond
and respect for each other and he
was one of the first people who
encouraged me to start posting my
poetry on the internet so I owe him a lot.

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

This is a beautiful tribute to your friend, Sue...and it says so much about both of you.
I am so glad that he encouraged you to post your poetry because other wise, we all would have missed out on something wonderful

Sue,

It is such a special thing to have someone
who gives you the confidence to pursue
something that has given you such peace
and happiness..
