My dad once said if you leave this place with but one friend you would be one most fortunate man. Plenty of pals come and go. Neighborhood buddies, high school chums, college fraternity interests but "friend?" The wife, of course, and that where it ends, and even that for many is a shooting star looking for a crash-landing way too often.

    And then there is a place called FS that you hit a jackpot, and it's your new favorite place to go! (and no need to put gas in the car) The friend I wrote about is amazing and we had unreal similarities, that bonded us like sisters.
    But there are so many here that are so special to me, and a handful like you Tom that I just can't wait to hear from. But if I were to ever write about my friend who makes me laugh like no other, even in my real life, you are it.
    I just feel the need to tell you how much your friendship means to me, as we aren't ever sure when we won't have that chance again. And I thank you so much my awesome friend!

    Dang girlie. Had I known I would have remained single (psst. don't let Myra know) which I did anyway until age 31then after meeting a lass of 19 two and a half years earlier I committed to wearing either a stripe b/w uniform or burnt orange in matrimony. The recipe seemngly worked. Forty three years without an argument for forty one when I figured out as often I thought myself right that 98.6 percent of the time she was instead. Better to be a mute than to argue with a formidable woman.

    Lol, I guess it just wasn't meant to be! hehe!
    I know all about how lucky you are to have Myra and she you. That's what so cool about special friendships, you are always happy that your friends are happy! Glen and I just celebrated 48 years, but lol, he's not as patient as you are. He just needs to laugh a little more!

    Patience: a life lesson taught men by a more patient woman.

    As in my poem Opposites Attract, it pretty much tells a comical type version of it.
    He does always tell me that I'm too nice for him, and I let him be right about that. Lol!

Debi,

This is a beautiful tribute to how two people can connect through words alone. Your poem reads easily, tells a story, and delivers a powerful message.

    Thank you so much Sue! We started communicating as we realized that there were unreal similarities in our lives, and it is wonderful to have that with someone you haven't even met. However so many of the emotions are felt with so many here, as I am overwhelmed by how I feel so much love
    for so many friends like you here. It's my favorite place to go now without actually leaving home. Thank you my awesome friend!

You did a great job with the prompt, such a touching poem to your friend. It is interesting how the universe works..... meaning you connect with a person that you have never met but find yourselves kindred spirits.
I have not experienced this but I know people like you that have.
How fortunate she is to have a friend like you. Thanks for sharing.

Well Debi, I can honestly say I know blood sisters who do not share as warm and wonderful a relationship as the one you describe in this poem! But writing, and poetry in particular, tends to build bridges of commonality and friendships where no commonality exists and where strangers, who will never meet can build such friendships as to feel like sisters! AMAZING!
Thanks for sharing!

    Hey Debi! I can So relate to FS being a favorite place to go. I am currently in the throws of a HUGE move and I still have to make time for my latest addiction -FS, and all the wonderful people that I am meeting. Thank you so much for being such a warm and caring person!

Debi,
A special verse about a special friend from afar, yet closer than close. This kind of friendship melts the distance - (with just a little help from technology). Confessing to the blessing of all that she is - her humor, faith, her smile and writing - is a lovely way to express the art and poetry in your friendship.

    Thank you to another special friend as you are always so kind! Yes, she certainly is very special since I've never met anyone with such similarities in our lives! Thank you my friend for your lovely review and words!

Dear Debi, WOW! This poem gets better each time I read it. Debi, I'm sure that your Twin feels the same way

My original review is below:

What a beautiful, heartfelt poem. This is a poem that anyone would be honored to receive. Your Sister of the Universe is a very lucky sister. How blessed was she to have found a kindred spirit like yourself. The two of you almost sound like twins! I can feel your love and admiration in each and every line and verse of your poem. Your rhyming is silky smooth.

I especially liked:
We have so much in common; we find new things everyday
So often our opinions seems to feel exact same way

(And what you have in common will bond the two of you forever.)

And:
I can see her smile coming through, an email or a text
I love her sense of humor; I can't wait to see what's next

(I bet she can see your smile too, and she can't wait to see what's next.)

Also:
Since God has been so Gracious, I am thrilled to be confessing
My Sister of the Universe, is such a Lovely Blessing

(I'm sure she feels that she too has been truly blessed.)

Debi, I know that your Sister of the Universe will love this poem, and that she will feel highly honored and loved by you.

Excellen photo choice. Your Sister of the Universe will feel like she is sitting on top of the world when she reads this poem. I love the little hand-shaped heart.

A poem of love, friendship and sisterly love ... how beautiful. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. Margaret ~ LateBloomer

    You might get a kick out of a few of the reviews, but you have to read the one Nomi. He's so cure

    You do know that l was talking about the six stars. I was seriously shocked that l didn't catch it. Guess l was just so hoping you like your poem.

    I did read them. I'm now the mystery woman, but I'm usually not subtle so that makes it very hard for me to be a mystery woman. Lol.

And here I thought, silly me, that you and I were the only tele-relatives. Oh well the beauty of your heart is that it is big enough and roomy enough to encompass the entire FS family. Tell your FS sister that I said hello and welcome to the family. BTW, your poem is simply lovely, I love the rhymes and the message it conveys.

    Truthfully Nomi, I try to be kind to everyone, but I only have a few who are so special to me. I honestly have to say that there are only four that I am as close with. And you are one of those four, as I feel like you are my brother.
    So don't be surprised when my brotherly love one comes up. So would you mind sharing when your birthday is?
reply by nomi338 on 10-Jun-2022
    The anniversary of my birth is April second. Interestingly enough I had a cousin, (now deceased) whose birthday was April first. Together, we were an unholy pair, a real terror growing up.
reply by the author on 10-Jun-2022
    Hahahahaha! Nomi I truly needed that laugh right now, as I was a good girl, but with some bad habits. I think when we are young, we seem to feel like we will live forever. Your birthday will be on my list of important dates to remember, as I can't imagine my life without my very best friends here.

The author's words are lovely, a blessing, descriptive, filled with meaning,
fun, exciting and creative. It is hard to find friends you connect with as well as this. I also think it is a Blessing from God! The poem flows and
connects well. The artwork is perfect and compliments these words.
Have a great weekend!....Maria

    My Harmonically Beautiful Maria, I love the sound of both of your names.

Your contest poem is beautiful, Debi. I loved reading it.
Your couplets are filled with great imagery and love. Great
job with the rhymes, the smooth flow, and the sweet, and true
message. One doesn't have to be a blood relative (sister) to
feel as though another is her sister. That feeling comes from
one's heart, and it's evident to others how both you and she feel
about each other. Everyone should be honored to have you as
their 'sister.'
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

It is a beautiful thing to find a soulmate in friendship as you have. You pay homage to this friend in a well constructed poem that gives a clear picture of the many links between you.

    I think many Fanstorians lives are much richer for the friendships we form here.
