Poem for my closest friends
by Alienhippy
I see you with your kids collecting sea shells on the beach
Walking through the forest hidden depths wanting to reach
Or sitting in a coffee shop and chatting with a friend
I switch on my computer and some loving hugs I send
~
Each morning I count my blessings as I step into my day
I carry you all with me, in my heart I always pray
Your lives in miles so far away but in spirit..oh, so near
So grateful for the friends I have, God sent you this is clear
~
When you’re happy and when you’re sad I feel you in my heart
I hold you in my thoughts and prayers so we are not apart
These massive ponds between us, it really isn’t fair
Because if I’m totally honest, I am wishing I could be there
~
To giggle in your happy times and hug you when you’re sad
Help you do the things that stress, hold your hand when life gets bad
To go out chasing butterflies and play on swings in the park
To sit and pray together in those times when life seems dark
~
I know one day I’ll meet you, that God has planned it so
I know that God will work it out and travelling I will go
Around the world to see my friends share space for just a while
But for this present moment it’s on Skype I’m sharing smiles
******************************************
“Life is kind of like a party. You invite a lot of people, some leave early, some stay all night, some laugh with you, some laugh at you, and some show up really late. But in the end, after the fun, there are a few who stay to help you clean up the mess. And most of the time, they aren’t even the ones who made the mess. These people are your real friends in life. They are the ones who matter most.”
Thankful for my true friends! ♥

I love it, Lisa! You are a most amazing friend and I so wish you were here!

So completely you. Which makes this so completely wonderful. How very precious. I see the heart of you in this, and embrace it fully. Lovely, beyond words and reaches across the ponds and distance. Thank you my beautiful friend. And, indeed, we shall meet in person, even after we have already touched souls. xoxoxo Sam

Yes Lisa – this is just genuine and real – can feel your spirit and energy easily with your words. It is so true how this medium though not considered “live” brings so much love and ‘life’ to those who embrace it with a pure and open heart. Beautiful Beautiful Lisa ~ you are!! xo R
Thank you lovely Robyn, you know I started my blog by complete accident. A God-incident really, I see this now. I followed an artist who had befriended me on care2. A lovely spiritual lady who is so very inspiring. She had a blog and I hadn’t got a clue what blogging was. Alienhippy was my gamer name and I didn’t read correctly what I was doing. I was only just learning about computers when Alienhippy’s blog was born. I panicked at first and switched off the computer thinking it would go away. But I couldn’t sleep and kept thinking of all my poems that no one had ever heard, all my art that no one had ever seen. So I braved it and God brought me friends. I am so grateful to Him for that.
Love and hugs. Lisa. xxx
Lovely poem Lisa and a wonderful sentiment expressed.
