The Day We Met

by Jill Eisnaugle — Read all 611 poems by Jill Eisnaugle

The beginning of each relationship, whether the affiliation is romantically-based or merely a friendship, can often lead to life-bettering changes for one or both parties involved. This poem is meant to honor and reflect upon those "first meetings."

Poem Artwork

 


The day we met, my life became
Much better than before
Our friendship lit an endless flame
That shall grow evermore
Providing strength to guide me through
From morn ‘til day is done
With forcefulness I never knew
Could thrive beneath the sun.


 


The moment that your life and mine
Joined for our friendship’s start
A bond that I need not define
Formed deep within my heart
Carving a place that shall remain
A shrine for all to see
That shall eternally contain
The joy you’ve brought to me.


 


I have no doubt my life is blessed
I’ve known for many years
Likewise, I could never contest
My happiness and tears
These days may come; these days may leave
But I shall not forget
The goals you’ve helped me to achieve
Thanks to the day we met.

With "The Day We Met," you hit the bullseye with me, Jill, for in reading this I reflect and honor the day I met my lifelong soulmate 64 years ago. Indeed, my life is blessed with having known her and shared my life with her all these years.

What a wonderful, meaningful posting. I love it!

You have experienced "friends are forever" and have written a tribute to that so very well. I am fortunate myself to have such friends as well. Beautifully done.
