Pen Friends
It's rather wonderful I think
when friends are made by pen and ink.
A piece of paper, blue or white
someone decides that she will write,
to someone she has never seen,
who lives where she has never been.
A pen becomes a magic wand
two strangers star to correspond.
Not strangers long, but soon good friends
Just note how their last letter ends.
How pleasant their exchange of views
the comments on important news...
Two friends who live quite far apart,
can gladden much each others heart,
can nourish too each others mind
in goodly thoughts in letters kind.
It's truly beautiful I think
the friendships sprung from
pen and ink!
