PLACIDA MY BFF (42 years later)

PLACIDA MY BFF (42 years later)

The first time I saw you on my doorstep 
I knew you'd be a people like 'Nik' 
Your Sophia Loren's smile, I shall never forget
You became my bestie, and it happened so quick. 

We are the forgotten heroes of literacy 
Bumping between bookshelves in a school library 
We worked four years rigorously 
No fees! It was kind of voluntary .

Our friendship was disrupted 
You found a golden nugget
Settled down abroad, and acclimated 
In a place number one list in my bucket.

So we sauntered two separate continents 
Of different interests and dreams 
Then started in tributary streams 
Embraced life with hopes and countenance .

The social media help us stay in touch
Pick up familiar friendship where we left off:
Those crazy memories- oh! I miss them so much 
I want you to know  I'm here when things get tough.

Even if we are not blood related 
For me you are like a sister
No matter what happens , we'll never be separated
Your placid nature gives me eternal shelter.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BEST FRIEND

Hi Lucy, welcome back. Yes. I'm sure she'll be loving this too. I'll not share this till tomorrow.  I'm leaving tomorrow for Switzerland to meet her for the third time. She surprised me two years ago on my birthday blast in the Philippines. 
i visited her in 1988 for the first time.
We worked together at our school library for free in the 70s.
Thanks for your time.

hugs
