G'Day Mate

Have you ever had your socks knocked off It happened to me today After thirty long years a sweetie from the past Emerged and blew me away She's been out my life for a long long while But never been out of my heart One of those friends you remember forever Wish we never did part Happenings in our life will dictate the path We really don't have a say But what always remains are the memories With us till our dying day Her name is Liz but I called her Elizabeth Very regal much like a Queen There aren't any words to describe her beauty Such beauty is rarely seen A real sweetie from the land down under A true Aussie all the way With that Aussie charm, that inner beauty Once more, she's blown me away G'day Mate!

Happened to me recently too. Remarkable, is it not. ... Also from 30 years ago ... Also blew me away ... Alas, mine was but a dream. ~ Pillow Talker

Not sure Milton! We have both moved on and it's very difficult to pick up So many things have changed! Hope your day is cooking along!

She was a sweetheart! Worked with her for about 3 or 4 years! She made a major impact on my life! Thanks for dropping by as usual my dear friend!
