"a New Friend"

Here I sit and watch from my summer window...
There you sit and winter is your windows show...
I hold a cold glass of lemonade with ice crushed....
As you sit with a warm cup of tea to warm you up....
Our windows are way to far away, but yet our words
still find their way...
When I drift to sleep your day has just begun, as you
rest your head I'm still in the sun...
Your picture I draw from the words that you write...
A true beauty in and out with hope that one day will
be in each others sight...


A thank you for Wilma Neels
