Blind Date

American voice soft, she said my name,
Heart racing, I spun round,
And smiled, instantly glad I came.
A beauty, her accent thrilling me with its sound:
The girl I’d spent a lifetime searching for was found!

I think this is just the type of thing she's looking for. You can see my (or any premium member's) profile by going to the "home page" here. Scroll down the left-hand side of the page and the names are in alphabetical order. If you click on what looks like an envelope next to a name, you will see their last blog that has a photo and bio. Hope this helps. Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
