Claire V. Bogdanos

I’d like to think that you and I

Are more than distant passersby

Like strangers on a lonely street

With chances that we’ll never meet.

Each day I wake with happy face

Expecting I should life embrace

There must be a way we need seek

To tread a path that’s not oblique.

We can remember to be kind

And leave hypocrisy behind

Have I been dreaming all this while

Or can I sense a timid smile ?

Don’t concentrate on laughs or frowns

All life must have its ups and downs !
