For Marelyn

First saw you on Facebook

It was last year as I take a look

A young lady on the PC screen

Captivated my senses, stirred me from within

Charming and attractive you are

Also with a loving and thoughtful heart

Takes me in bliss though we are far

As if you’re here, never we are apart

Though we became virtual friends last year

It’s just recently that I endeavored

Formally introducing myself to you my dear

Now through cellphone, our communication we treasure

Even though we don’t see each other

In our hearts and minds we feel the utmost sincerity

Placing ourselves in good matters

Hoping our nurtured friendship’s for eternity

I’m filled with burning optimism

That the day comes we will meet

Making memorable things beyond what’s spoken

Lasting until our final breath

I know you’re in Antique now

Prayers and best wishes are what I can offer you

Hoping that I can ease your loneliness somehow

And may you be able to get things through

Only time knows what’s in store for us

But still we keep our hopes high

Though everything comes to pass

Our friendship is something more than worthy to try

I gratefully thank you for opening your door

And I promise to be the best for you forevermore

Wishing that you’re always fine my dear

For you, Oh Marelyn, please do hear.
