WITH FONDNESS
Was it just yesterday
when I saw her at play
swinging in light snow
at a mock village show
far away, or was it long ago,
years have flown as she has grown,
as guest she stayed with family
in tow
greetings exchanged using a phone
always a kind word or two, perhaps
more
to her invitations extended as
always before
invariably blocked, she found
a locked door,
though some unsuccessfully sought
her hand
her heart is still free to roam,
given to none,
now with her maturity beginning
to show
difficult are the choices she
well knows
conceivably start a new life,
relocate
yet there just may be another
date
who can truly predict her fate.
