A Friend I'D Like To Meet

A Friend I’d Like to Meet
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

I have a friend I’d like to meet.
She is a pearl, a real live treat.
The words she writes are very sweet.
I feel her love with each heartbeat.

To see her face would be so neat.
She sits not on a lofty seat.
She lives not on the Isle of Crete.
Nor does she loving friends delete.

The coastal waters cool her heat.
And where she lives, there is no sleet.
A gentle breeze makes life complete.
So, each day’s glow she does repeat.

You’ll never hear harsh words that bleat.
And nock a stranger off his feet.
With kindness she does ill defeat.
She walks upon God’s narrow street.

These words I send to my friend’s feet.
Where goodness never knows retreat.
God bless your heart so strong and sweet.
Please don’t give up; we two shall meet.

Sorry, Carolyn.  I missed your message.  God bless you.

Dear Dane, it was wonderful talking to you today. We shall surely meet for Chinese food as soon as possible. I miss you and all the wonderful people here -- too many to name each. All of you have helped make this move easier. I look forward to being back here soon. You are all making this move so much easier! Love you, Carolyn
