my friend

for Nasha

my friend is one
whose love grew wings
on her back so she can soar
and fly all the way
across any possible ocean
and all mountains
just to see if I do well
just to share a cup of tea
or orangeade and the latest
gossip of the day
I in turn
prepare each morning a double
cup of tea and read
carefully the newspaper
and the face of my kid
so we have what to share.
and when we meet
beyond the gates of a dream!
what a joy it will be.
one day if I too
learn to love enough
I can hope
to grow a nice and strong pair og wings
on my back
so I can soar
and return my friend's visit back.
and when we shall meet
beyond the gates of a dream
oh what a joy
will it be that day
when we meet
