I wrote this poem for a close friend, a talented and beautiful woman who warms my heart and inspires my words – Penny Granger. Please visit her site to read her poetry. Thanks!
A wish, set free on water
With the wind filling taught sails
Her name, my darling Penny
Across waves, true love prevails

‘Tis an emotive poem, my darling man, …and one which means a great deal to me, …Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and know that you mean the world to me, …Dall’acqua alla terraferma, sei la luce splendente della mia vita, che dà significato a ogni mio respiro, amore mio, …❤️
Good morning, my darling lady. You’ve brought sunshine into my world, happiness filling my days, warmth to melt my heart, with words to write essays. Sei un angelo nella mia vita, amore mio, e spero che possiamo condividere questa vita — le nostre vite — insieme, come una cosa sola… ❤️
