I was poking around my sister’s desk and I found this book of poems. I’m pretty certain it belongs to my other sister and I also have an idea why this monkey of ours grabbed this book considering she has no interest in reading books, much less poems!
Anyhow, that aside, I was flipping through the pages, reading a lil here and there and found a really meaningful poem/prose or whatchamacallit… made me think about last night and what Myra said about our friendship =)
One of the greatest joys in my life is our friendship. I don’t think either of us suspected, when we first met, that we would stand where we do today, sharing the close harmony of our abiding friendship. But we grew together through the days, sharing laughter and tears, thoughts and silence – all the things that have become an unforgettable part of who we are. You have always encouraged me to share myself fully – my hopes, my dreams, my secret pains and sadnesses that I have come to understand better in the light of your concerned understanding. I hope I have reflected back to you, if only in a small way, something of the same. No one knows what path tomorrow will find us walking; but together or apart, I know that I’ve found in you the lifetime friend I have always wished for, and that the years passing will never change, but only strengthen, our enduring relationship.
