embrace of endurance

across the distance i can feel your voice

through the miles that separate it warms my heart

though nothing could ever keep us apart

a caress of warmth, an embrace of endurance

i long for your touch in the lonely night

when i cry in vain to prove that life is all right

you hold my hand from a distance

a welcome sensation through life's little trials

and calling me home with the warmth of a smile

Author notes

"Hold my hand from a distance" option

(I'm aware it's crap... no one beyond the judge needs to point that out to me )

the rhyme might work better
if I could find a rhythm in the lines

I would cut words to find that beat
if you asked me to

Naw it's not crap. Ok a little sappy here and there, but not crap. The title fits well. Good luck in the contest!

  It's so sappy that I could put it on pancakes
  I seem to be inspired by contests lately, which is good, since I think I've written maybe 5 whole poems this year... er, last year, that is
