Ode To Janice Herzog

late at night i dream of you
like little boys dream of hero's
i in bondage of lonliness
send you love notes of my distress

and in my dreams you always arrive
just as allways in the nick of time
my doom once again thwarted
my gloom and despiration departed

my thoughts fly through the air
to kiss an angel i must dare
and in the kiss find love fair
vanquish lonliness and dispare

with three words offer
tender loving care
my dreams to offer
my heart to dare

late at night i dream of you
hold my pillow and wish it was you

John, how nice to have someone who fills your mind both night and day. I'm sure Janice appreciated the tribute. Thanks for your thoughts on "Lovers on Valentine's Day." Although I could not be with him, I enjoyed the day because he expressed his feelings in such a nice way. Best to you, Carolyn
