I've just received your letter
Your lost and empty arms
Have touch me oh, so sadly
I didn't mean you harm
Have lots of things to tell you
I hope you'll understand
I'm older now and wiser
I've grown into a man
The times we've spent together
Sharing our tranquil view
The warmth of silent breezes
I know we've shared a few
The fresh, smell scent of pine trees
Lingers in my mind
The mountains reaching skyward
Serenity, so fine
I must now tell you bad news
It will not please you, friend
Your comfort, always, there for me
Your caring, till the end
I've sold this peaceful property
In haste, just yesterday
I really need the money
To pay for things come May
You see, I'm getting married
To one that loves me so
Her arms have filled my emptiness
Her warmth, just fills my soul
I'm sorry for this letter
I'll have a new home soon
The new owners will treasure
A friend like you so true

I am not surprised with this poem, but I am surprised how from line to line it becomes stronger and stronger. Used words and pictures are great and it becomes unique with used background. I need to close my eys and to feel the smel of pine trees. Bravo jasmine.
