Touched Gracefully

the first impression of a now, long time, friend~

 

You caught my attention

the very first moment I saw you, coming up the stairs.

 

You were a striking young woman

Like none other, I'd ever seen.

 

An accent from a northern location, incorporated from

Your surroundings and college chums.  It was somewhat foreign to my

ears but then, I had my own slang that no doubt wreaked havoc upon your ears.

 

For some reason, you took the time, mixed it with great patience and grace

and thankfully allowed something unexpected and strong to bloom between us.

 

At times...

I am truly amazed at how lucky I am to be blessed by friends such as thee.

So few are granted over a lifetime,

blessed I am, to still be graced, with the few

      that allow me to be their friend.

How lucky we are when we find our friends. Great poem about friendship. I like your ending lines:
"So few are granted over a lifetime,
blessed I am, to still be graced, with the few
that allow me to be their friend."

Wisdom and beauty in your words. We are lucky when a woman allow you in. Even if it is for a short time. A excellent poem.

This was an inspiring write. One that brings all the natural feelings one has when meeting someone knew and then growing together in the bond of friendship.. I so love these lines, for they represent something that many do not care to do in today's times.. Oh to be among the days of splendor when one treasured the gentle touch of friendship and feelings of others.. These lines say it all! Wonderful piece.. Thanks so for sharing..

"For some reason, you took the time, mixed it with great patience and grace

and thankfully allowed something unexpected and strong to bloom between us." i really enjoyed this poem. so many people come and go, in & out of our lives, the ones that stay, almost like our soul mates, they are truly and utterly amazing. this poem makes me think of the few friends i've had that have stayed with me through the years, good times & bad times, & are still there. a beautiful tribute to friendship.

Brilliant job, very touching. To remember the moment when a friend is met is wonderful. Friendship is like love without most of the complications and can often be more nourishing and lasting. I am sure your friend considers herself lucky, too. Has she ever seen this poem?

Beautiful, as time passes and age falls upon us, we find that good friends are few, but the ones we manage to maintain are the best of the best.
