How many times did they meet back of beyond?
Two, three times a year just to maintain their bond;
Their time was never enough
As fate would have with this kind of stuff
They ached to do more than just correspond
The measure of a country's greatness is its ability to retain compassion in times of crisis         ~~~~~~~~~Thurgood Marshall

The worst loneliness is not to be comfortable with yourself.    ~~~~~~~~~ Mark Twain

Twas a bolt through a heart that'd grown frail

Twas a bolt through a heart that'd grown frail
He read each word with care
"Friend, I'll meet you there..."
His final card was not the Holy Grail.

   Time moved so slowly in the times between
   It was  never, simple life, so it seemed.

Everyday seemed the same

 Everyday seemed the same
 Burned, with longings and pain
