New Friends Poem by Alison Smith

She took a risk
She met him
She allowed her inner emotions be seen.

He met her with the manner of a gallant knight
He enclosed her in a place of safety
He demanded nothing but her friendship

She was surrounded by his arms
Her fears were faced while there
Tears and freedom were felt

He found peace with her
He was able to explore his own fears
They bound this meeting with trust

A friendship was cemented
They would be there for each other
No matter how far apart they would be.
