For Babba

For a kindred soul

Across the miles,

across the sea,

stretching out our hands,

across the lands,

with different native tongues

and customs,

but our laughter,

knows no boundaries

and our hearts

speak the language

of humanity.

Barbara, you and I can truly appreciate the wonder of technology that allows us to make friends all over the world. Just a short time ago (to you and me) we were constrained by vast distances that limited our choices and kept us from experiencing new cultures through faraway friends. I think this poem has special meaning to those of our generation. Very well said!

Thank you, Craig!

When i saw the email notification and read the message i was (still am) excited and trembling not just because it was a piece dedicated to me, but of the realization of the fact that our often unnoticed kindness and concern to people could have and make such an impact.

Twice i tried to submit a review and twice tears flooded my eyes and got overtaken by emotions to stop... I have learned a lot being on writerscafe but today i guess i learned the ultimate lesson..THAT THE IMPACT OF BEING NICE AND KIND TO PEOPLE KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES AND IT'S FELT ACROSS THE LANDS AND SEAS". On writerscafe i have made not just friends, but real friends, in a rare twist of fate (my mother is late) but by age in Barbara i find a mum and by her inner spirit she is my kid sister lol!.

No other words could i mention to describe what i truly feel right now (and will continue to feel for the rest of mine life) but thank you, thank you so much Barbara....Thank you Barbara, Thank you writerscafe for the platform.

A beautiful and hopeful poem. I have been telling people for many years. World is getting smaller. In the end. One people and one planet. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.
