When I looked at the Christmas lights that
year
It’s your special message that I remembered,
Then I thought of choosing a right gift
for you
And couldn’t find anything good enough,
Then on advice from someone I thought wise
I gave you a diary with so many paintings…
Don’t know how you felt about it; free
gift
It was but my friend admonished me so much
But I guess it had nothing to do with my
gift
That you who were so dear went so far away
So far that you are more like a mirage
than real
More like the taste of dreams from
childhood.
I called you my mentor when you were around
Now eons later I still wonder if you liked
my gift.
