Description
The January challenge topic in the Writer's Gallery is "Best Friends." Thanks to Jeff for coming up with a monthly topic! This one was more difficult than you might think. There doesn't seem to be much to say when everything is going well. :)
Best Friends
August, 2008
You appeared one day
Out of the wild blue yonder
Interesting photography
Cutie picture on your bio page
With that fancy jet
Aviator shades
And I thought,
"Too bad ...
He looks a bit too military
And seems to be interested
Only in guy things."
You know,
Like you do
No intention behind the thought
... just noticing
December, 2008
You were more interesting
Than I had originally guessed
Conversation back and forth
There was more to you than
Airplanes
Summer, 2009
A bunch of us are meeting in
Chicago
Would you like to join us?
Plans were in place
Major surgery
Kept you at home
We had a blast
But you were missed
December, 2009
So
Do you have a headset?
That first night we talked
For over four hours
You thought you'd never have
Another thing to say
January, 2010
Endless conversation
Hours and hours
Every evening
The first time you flew out
Was for a week
Which became two
Everyone loved you
(Especially me)
May, 2010
You'd met my family
I'd met yours
You packed up the car
The dog
Made it here in record time
To start our new life together
September, 2010
We knew we had to invite
Everybody
Or nobody
So we chose nobody
Two witnesses
And a minister
Just enough
To make it legal
January, 2013
Three years of
Adventure
Fun
Laughter
My life is so much better
With you
Than without you
I wish I had words
That didn't sound pat
Pollyanna
Geese with blue bows
But you know
And if nobody else understands
It doesn't make a bit of difference
Every day
I get to spend another day
With my best friend

Beautiful writing, dear Tara. I am so glad you have a best friend and soul mate. Hugs. Di. xx
Ok, so who is it? {:-0 This is beautiful. Isn't it great when you can marry your best friend?
Perfect ! You are a clever (and very fortunate) woman, Tara!
I love the writing Tara. A wonderful and true story. My guess is who the two is in this story is you and Bill. God Bless.
Very neat Tara. Yes, Bill is one of kind. The two of you complete the picture.
Very nice...
How does one know If she's the right one What about obstacles Two thousand miles Family Politics Religion And a few more Listen with your ear Watch with your eye Touch with your hand Use your head Feel your heart Put it all in the balance And what do you find That same wonderful answer My life is so much better With you Than without you:*
Very beautiful writing and Bill's counter-point is perfect! Congrats to both of you
very sweet smiles with you as you have found a true best friend wonderful words, Tara May warm hugs with love, Linda Kaye
SO absolutely wonderful and very touching too. I am very happy for your two, my friend. :-))))))))
Beautiful!
This brought sweet tears to my eyes. :)))))) A special love like this can't be found just anywhere. :))))) This is truelly beautiful. :)))) Spoken from the heart. :))))) Thank you for sharing this most sweet moment. :)))) Carry A Warm Smile In Your Heart :))))
Sometimes it's easy to believe in destiny..... What a wonderful piece, Tara! You and Bill were meant to be together. My congratulations to both of you! I'm looking forward to seeing you both this spring!
A beautiful poem Tara and I'm so glad that you and Bill are still so happy. I love Bill's reply too. You are both made for each other and it was so great that RR brought you both together.
Very nice! I love the poetic side!
This is so excellent. It makes a nice Gwotian entu only it isn't on a leaf or a stone or a piece of found wood. Of course a traditional "declarative" sort of entu or groups of them would be written in a book with pages of rough, hand-made paper, but with a number of blank pages in the back, because, as everyone knows, entus are never finished. That's the point. And now, as I dip back into this world...which is a bit farther away from Gwot, I will say that this piece of work has triggered so many thoughts and feelings, and that's always a good thing. I love what's stated, and more, what's implied. Friends are like that, and to marry one is even better! Brilliant writing! I love it!
A very special and great dedication.
Oh Tara, what a beautiful poem & Bills words in reply. You, Bill & Mandy were made to be together. xxx
Omg, how did I miss this? I remember all those steps; we talked about them and I remember one day you said, "no way can this work" and the next day you said, "yes, it can". and it has.....so very, very well!!!!!
I am just getting to read your poem 6 months late and needed to let you and Bill know how toughing both poems are. If life is good - you have done the right thing!
