SHE RETURNED IT
She borrowed a lump of sugar
To sweeten a cup of tea.
I felt so very silly
When she brought it back to me.
TO MY FRIENDS
On Christmas day, let happy dreams
Sparkle and flow like bubbling streams.
A MAIDEN'S DREAM
I often think and dream and ponder
Of things that I have seen,
And twist the real into a wonder
When men and birds convene.
If I could reach that star up yonder,
My soul would lift and preen;
If Summertime would always stay
My yard would be more green.
