THANK YOU Luka ... Adelina will love her party when she returns!

Happy Birthday Adelina!

I left this poem for Roger in Sara's October Poet of the Month forum, but I will dedicate it to you here since you have been holidaying with your husband who is a sailor on leave

The Lass of Avonlea

She walked the misty moors, high above the sea
The bonny lass of Avonlea;
The wind played with her tangled hair
Touching, attentive sailors would not dare
The elusive lass of Avonlea;
Her longing eyes searched, searched far out to sea
The lonely lass of Avonlea;
She wandered down by the sea,
The searching lass of Avonlea;
Footprints hid in the rocky shore by the sea
The elusive lass of Avonlea;
No one to follow, nor to find
Hidden steps so very kind
To the lost lass of Avonlea.
Then this day he came to her from the sea
Her weary sailor from Dundee,
To their secret path by the sea,
The lass and sailor of Avonlea.

Hi Arshad,

It`s great to see you back, thank you!

Your congrats and nice wishes for our dear Adelina are very appreciated.

Sincerely,

Luka

Dear Mike,

I am delighted finding you here! I must admit I miss you past days. My response comes a little late, but my school, with too much tasks, past few days made me far away from the keyboard.

Thanks for praising my Mom as one surely very deserved for my "format". But, gold is not all what shines :) ... so, I wish you can see how my mother use to be happy and proud of me whe throw out, through the window, my stockings and another stuff found at the wrong places (read: everywhere).

But, L O L ... when I`ll marry .....

AH!

I`ll be happy to speak with you out of public places ... telling you how I have learned to find all right places for my things :)

THANKS FOR THOSE AMAZING WISHES FOR ADELINA.

She is one of dearest friends!

Mike, please hug Shirley!

Luka
