Reason To

You give me reason to live.
There are other reasons
But talking with you is
Right up at the top of the list
Along with dawn, dusk
And little kids at Christmas
Thanksgiving and Easter.
The days and weeks like
The years and decades
Roll by and still the sound
Of your voice thrills me
With recollection of
Our memories together.
But the cheery on the top
Is video-chatting with you
When I can see you look
Up down side to side
Then smile as you look
Me in the eye knowing
We share something
Hard to find today,
With sincerity of
Emotion we
Call old
Friend.
What burns
So very bright cannot
Burn so very long
Was not said of
Friendship,
Your look
Like the
Sound
Of your
Voice
Is forever,
Always
My
Friend.
And though
We are far apart
For a time,
Distance cannot
Dim nor time tarnish
Our time together
Knowing our
Story is not
Yet over,
We have reason to
Meet again to
Share a glance
And smile.
