Today’s my birthday.
I think about the gift
of what friends mean to me.
Each snowflake,
softly falling here in Michigan,
returns to me again your gentle voice.
I watch the hour hand crawl slowly,
silently around
while I wait for you.
Come simply, unencumbered,
nothing fancy,
and we will make lace,
sewing our souls together.
I cannot get along without sweet words.
Let’s exchange them.
Here, I offer mine.
A little message of love
this Valentines Day
to you, friend I haven’t met.
May this tiny spark
of friendship light your heart
with love on Valentines Day.
Walk with head held high.
You are one indeed,
like no other, beautiful,
special.
I see your face in candlelight
even when we’re not together,
and I remember.
You are, like a book,
full of surprises,
and I love turning the pages.
Shh…listen to the sounds of earth
whispering their songs to us.
Such music!
In my jewelry box I found
the old ticket to prom.
Remember those days?
My guest room has fresh yellow flowers,
crisp linens.
Dinner’s cooking.
Come on in.
