FRIENDSHIP
by Aileen

This lovely poem was written by one of travelers. Aileen has been on a few trips with her new friends and favourite tour host Nanette Snel.  Recently some of these ladies reunited to reminisce and enjoy the company of their friends. Aileens words express the importance and the value of these friendships formed on a Womens Travel Network tour.

Thank you Aileen.

FRIENDSHIPS ARE ONE OF A KIND
FRIENDS ARE SOCIAL, LIKEABLE, THEY CARE
THEY’RE WARM SPIRITED WITH A ZEST FOR LIFE
THEY’RE SENSIBLE, OBSERVANT, THEY VOCALIZE

FRIENDSHIPS ARE FELT WITH THE HEART
FRIENDS MAKE NO JUDGEMENTS BY WHAT YOU SAY
AND THEY DON’T HAVE TO SEE EACH OTHER EVERY DAY
TO GIVE ENCOURAGEMENT AND ADVICE
WITH ANY CONCERNS THAT MAY COME YOUR WAY

THEY ENJOY TOGETHER TIMES, ARE FUN TO BE AROUND
AND THEIR VIEWS ON POLITICS SPORTS AND THE LATEST NEWS
ARE USUALLY VERY SOUNDI HAVE CHERISHED OUR FRIENDSHIP OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS
AND OUR LIVES HAVE BEEN TOUCHED IN SOME WAY
WITH BOTH LAUGHTER AND WITH TEARS
ITS FUN TO LOOK BACK ON OUR TIMES IN GREECE, PROVENCE, PARIS AND SPAIN
AND REMEMBER THE PEOPLE, VARIOUS WINES AND DELICIOUS CUISINETHANKS NANETTE FOR HOSTING US IN YOUR LOVELY HOME TODAY
AT OUR NEXT REUNION YOU ARE WELCOME AT MY PLACE ANY TIME ANY DAY
YOU’RE VERY SPECIAL AND IM PROUD TO Be CALLED A FRIEND
AND RECOMMEND THAT WE STAY THAT WAY TO THE BITTER END
