To Friends Another year to be transcribed Into the book of life Another chapter creased into The musty folds of strife Another deep and mystic tale That won’t be fully told Of intimate and sacred love Inscribed in ink of gold Another memory pressed between A page of passion dust And folios of friendship scrolled In deep respect and trust It is the hour that measures time A moment set apart To toast a friendship that abides In corners of my heart It’s time to lift the goblet up And let expression rise From deepest wells of sentiment To shallow, teary eyes My heart is filled abundantly Up to the swollen brim And wait’s the gentle touch of lips To gather round its rim Then take this cup o’ kindness For the sake of auld land syne And sip a sip of friendship From this loving heart of mine Cheers! and Happy New Year to my dear friends of passion Liz |

My heart is filled abundantly Up to the swollen brim And wait’s the gentle touch of lips To gather round its rim So beautifully said, dear Elizabeth! Thank you! I gladly join in this celebration of friendship. Love to you and may 2008 bring Joy and Peace. Margherita ![]() |
