Poetry

I wrote this for Jayne. Jayne is a sweet girl, basically good natured, a little battered and bruised by life and its many twists and turns, imperfect, but with a heart of gold. It captures how and what I felt when I first met Jayne and how I always knew from that day that Jayne would be a special 'someone' in my life.


A flicker of hope, in the fading light;
Soft but strong, shining bright;
Through the gloom comes a warm glow;
Like a log fire, burning nice and slow.

Darkness descends all around;
A quiet hush, there is no sound;
Read the words, feel the love;
Watch the stars, twinkle up above.

A new day dawns, go for a run;
Hear the words, sense the fun;
Hurry on home, there maybe more;
Wonder what surprises are in store.

Another mail, oh what glee;
Sharing our thoughts just you and me;
Happy and enchanted, if only you could see;
Just how much your friendship means to me.
