"The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart." ~Elisabeth Foley
Poetry Jam "Connections" Prompt
There is a mighty tenderness in friendship at the age of 10 years old.
A bond that cannot be broken by time, distance, nor foe.
In the beginning we were inseperable with laughter at our side,
yet as time went by the space between us grew more open wide.
One moved to Montana and the other in Texas always stayed.
So letters became our communication, and for the mail man we would wait.
Now many years have passed since the days that we were close on the map,
yet everytime we speak by telephone it is as if no time has ever passed.
I still conssider my best friend from 5th grade to be my best friend now. Amazingly, we have spent most of our friendship apart, living in different towns, and sometimes far off states. We actually only spent the equivalent of 2 years nearby each other, but the magnitude of the friendship made during that time has carried us through the distance. The prompt this week is about connections and how they impact our lives. It made me think of this wonderful relationship, that has been a powerful connection. It has survived the erosion of time,and the vastness of distance. We have both changed and grown in different walks of life, yet we have never grown apart when it comes to the matters of the heart, and that is the greatest connection of all.
