Wishing She Was Here
I tossed a coin
Into the drink
Then, saw it splash
And watched it sink
To make a wish
I hope comes true
Deep in my heart
– I dream of you
Forgive me, please
I carry on
It happens all the time
These thoughts of you
Warming my day
My love flows into rhyme
I’ll blow a kiss
Across the sea
Wrapped with a bow
To you, from me
Until we meet
Please hold it near
And know that I
wish you were here

haha Thanks for the links. Very nice. I just tossed a bag, that turned mushy. 😞 I gave away many and was still left with more than my share. 🍋🍋🍋
