I do not know your name,
my friend, but I can call you sister.

Are you in need of a friend?
So am I. Where shall we meet?

I hear your poignant song in the night
and want to sing the harmony.

Kindness–a little goes a long way.
Here, I’m tossing some in your direction.

Lace hearts, red boxes of chocolate,
even roses–
not as good as your hugs.

I feel the beat of love
coursing through my heart
and want to share.
