Pen Friends the World Over
During the 70s I felt really so alone
so joined a Penpals Worldwide club
this I really enjoyed meeting new friends
watching for a mailman hoping for a flood
In the UK I had a few of them
remember Janet and Janice across the border
also written a lot to Jane in Wales
so good to receive letters in any order
We exchange photos with each other
remember in Germany there was lovely Brigitte
who was a really attractive blonde
enjoyed reading her pen, such a hit
A special friend was Joan in Chicago
we first, exchanged letters, them onto tapes
so nice to hear each other's voice
we sent each other sweets of various shapes
But never met one another
though I did check price of a flight
then I met my future wife Jean
so Joan and I ceased to write
I often wonder where they're now
and wish life for them has been clear
trust they're happy and at peace
still loved the penful memories of yesteryear
(In the 70s, I remember such happy times of having many penfriends across the world, it was a blessed time of happy memories, but often wonder where they all are now.)
