dreams and schemes...
designs of the finer kind.
I'm proud to call her my friend.
Tears hung in my eyes like mini meniscus
as I looked and looked at this sweet latest make.
Picking up the phone I dialled; valiantly
keeping the quiver out of my voice...
'Please can I buy?'
'They're sold, sorry!'
Before she had time to say...
'I'll make you one.'
My bottom lip dimpled and quivered
and I'm ashamed to say I cried.

This is what on Valentine's morning the
postie delivered.
No not a card from a secret admirer,
but something far, far, far more
valuable...
The badge of the worth of a
true friend...
totally lovely, you lucky girl.

And a talented one to boot.Lovely x Jane
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't love her so much , my only-child, green envy eyes would flash... just how can one person have so much talent?

It is reassuring to have friends like that Linda. Enjoy your gift.
ReplyDeleteIf I wore all of Viv's lovely brooches at one time, my bosom wouldn't get a look in... not a bad thing some might say!
