Pages of Blue

I see pages of blue, words written so true

I see them there, for me and for you,

And I think to myself, what a wonderful place.

I see friends, and poets, and warm loving smiles,

The bright and the witty, and the silly ones too,

And I think to myself, what a wonderful place

Three colors of blue, so pretty with the shades of whites

Are also in my thoughts when I am thinking of you

I see friends writing friends, warm words in reply,

They're really saying, “I love you."

I read beautiful poems, I just want you to know

I will learn more than I can ever hope to say,

And I think to myself, what a wonderful place

Yes I think to myself, what a wonderful place.
.

Thanks PIP!
