Bear Hugs

I want to share this poem with all of my readers. My friendship with Virginia Czaja (aka Virginia Crane) persist through many adventures. As we begin our 5-week book tour beginning June 1, I know we will endure the many miles of travel ahead of us. To a dear friend and wonderful supporter. Here's one for you, Virginia.

Friendship is a chain of gold
Shaped in God's all perfect mold.
Each link a smile, a laugh, a tear,
A grip of the hand, a word of cheer.
Steadfast as the ages roll,
Binding closer soul to soul.
No matter how far or heavy the load,
Sweet is the journey on friendship's road.
