While We're Apart

To my sister---
I thee write

A touch of love to reach your heart.
An honest bond between us grew,
and so it shall while we’re apart.

I saw some crystal glowing bright,
and roses in a dried bouquet.
A porcelain doll with perfect eyes;
All this I wish to send your way.

Have you yet to find your gift?
It’s not among the paper bows.
But look into my eyes and find
my love for you, forever shows.

To my sister---
I thee write

A special word of prayer and thought.
I love you so at Christmas time,
and so I shall while we’re apart.
