Ode to my Bok on half a century.




In the tuckshop
Marooned by children,
All green eyed pretty with a smile that
Lights the room
I found
Your sweet-heart-friend=ship.


And we took sail
You and I
Two friends now,
Happy
In the simple truth that meets
The ebb
and flow of this small life.


Remarkable one,
Extraordinary.
Who listens with carefulness,
Giving time.
Calming the waters
Throwing out a rope to which
We cling


You are the gentle sigh of a distant sea
The wide eyed wonder of a child.
A chocolate eclair.
You are
A night sky filled with kindly stars.
An invitation in the post.
And Sunday mornings
Warm in bed


With love and thanks to you my beautiful friend...

  1. Oh my darling friend, that I will always be here for you. Most all I have learned about the love of a true friend, I have learned from you. Wise wonderful warmhearted woman you are. x x x
