How Close I Came
Someone asked me about you.
She asked me what you are like.
I replied without much thought . . .
Bright eyes,
cute accent,
glorious smile,
beautiful nose,
musical laughter,
sees the joy in the small things.
It wasn't until later,
reflecting on my words,
that I realized how close I had come
to capturing your perfections.
