As we sit closely side by side We watch the billow of the tide. No words are said; you clasp my hand You know full well I understand. You know full well I understand. No words are said; you clasp my hand. We watch the billow of the tide As we sit closely side by side. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mirror Mirror Poetry Contest Sponsored by John Lawless © 16th August 2020 Chosen POTD 18th Aug 2020
