It started in a small way <br />an abstract message or two <br />never thinking where it was leading <br />or how close I would become to you. <br />We were just two souls <br />looking out for a friend <br />never thinking that friendship <br />would eventually transpire. <br />The messages became less abstract <br />hearts poured out words to one another. <br />Invisible threads were weaved <br />into something to full fill. <br />Over the years we’ve become closer <br />bonds were firmly cemented <br />your family became mine <br />and mine became yours. <br />As we met, we both knew <br />a stronger chain had been forged. <br />Now we remain friends together <br />in everything we’ll share. <br />As over the years, we’ve become closer <br />and nothing can tear us apart <br />except the distance where we live. <br />That is just a minute distance <br />with a telephone call <br />and it will be but a short time <br />until we meet again next fall. <br /> <br /> <br />31 October 2009<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/over-the-years/
