M argaret is a caring person, someone to spread a smile,

A real joy to receive her letters, we have been writing quite a while.

R emembering why we became friends is no case of denial.

G ood friends are a blessing; I thank the world for Margaret,

A person who means the world to me, although we have never met.

R eal fun to correspond, our letters from the heart,

E very letter is a joy to receive, a shame we live so far apart.

T his friend I made lit up my world from the start.

S he lives in Northern Ireland, to be precise Coleraine,

P lan to meet real soon to put a face to her name.

A very special lady, so proud to have her as my friend,

L etters will continue to go back and forth from now until the end.

L istening is what she is good at, an ear she will always lend,

I talk about the weather, tv and daily life,

N ot forgetting our families, the worries and our strife.

G old is what her heart is made of, one day she will make someone a loving wife.
