A heartbeat pause; a tearful blink;
a raised arm; I saw him stand.
With a sense of truth and reality
we clasped each other’s hand;
an embrace of long lost brothers
erased the years… and it felt grand.

Nancy stood a step behind
and watched with joy filled heart.
She waited quietly in the rear
for Boon and me to part.
I hugged her with a sense of awe
and she simply said, “At last!”

We’d never met, the three of us,
but that didn’t mean a thing;
the joy of friends together
allowed our hearts to sing.
The excitement of a dream come true -
Only God, this gift, could bring.
