There is nothing as refreshing as discovering a friend in a new place.
Explosions of laughter
Ripple through a lonely heart
Still aching for the familiar in a foreign land.
Hugs are exchanged,
Thoughts are shared
About ourselves,
About life,
About God.
Coming from different places
Yet finding similarities,
Shared experiences,
Shared feelings,
Shared dreams.
Finding friendship in a new place is the beginning of making a home.
A smile of greeting
Fortifies a quivering heart
Now glad to be in a foreign land.
