Judith
a new found friend of mine
is a friend I hope to have
until the end of time
trans-Atlantic-Cheshire
is ever so far away
it seems when we are having night
you are having day
such a pity that we have yet to meet
the mere thought has me on the edge of
some proverbial seat
I have yet to see your face
but I plan to see you as soon as I can
no matter how many miles are between us
by sea and land
your family sounds sweet as I know you are too
I consider you my mind's picture of the English
way of life with an authentic view
this poem must end short of my true feelings
and thoughts
for I have somehow lost my perfect ending with
my what have you's and what nots.............
