Distant Friends

Hello my friend.

I know it's been a little while since you've seen me around here.

I think you know without it said, it's been quite a rough year.

But I want to take the time to say a special thanks to you.

For all the care you've offered me and all the things you do.

I always knew you were standing close with lots of love and care.

With a ready hand and a patient ear and laughter ready to share.

Thank you for that part of you you gave away so free.

Thank you for the friendship offered, accepted and cherished in me.

So even tho you may not see me here each and every day.
