Mon Ami Poem by Lorraine Margueritte Gasrel Black

I long to hear your voice again
And keep your company and the hour
To share in letters of joy and pain
For in friends Heaven sends a flower

With my spirit I give my heart
In my mind and soul to last
And with time we live and part
Across the smiles of friendships past

For once with wine and bread we break
And to the winds we cast our stones
I remember you with every day I wake
O my friends -how far we've flown.
