It’s a tiny door

Most of the older trees here are aging well – Crispina Kemp


~~~

It’s a tiny door,
and a tinier peephole,
I know who lives here.

I’m going to knock,
and say, anyone at home?
oh, there’s no answer.

That’s a shame,
shall I try again?
well, why not?

But no, no avail,
oh well, off I’ll go, I guess,
just strolling a way.

But then I popped back,
aha, got you, little minx,
I knew it was you!

~~~

Chris Hall liked a quote
“I don't want to sound gloomy, but at some point of your lives, every one of you will notice that you have in your life one person, one friend whom you love and care for very much. That person is so close to you that you are able to share some things only with him. For example, you can call that friend, and from the very first maniacal laugh or some other joke you will know who is at the other end of that line. We used to do that with him so often. And then when that person is gone, there will be nothing like that in your life ever again.”
