| “Given Surprize”
I ruined a planned surprize today. My friend guessed at my intentions And I decided it might just pay To let it change its date of mention. I surprized my friend, that’s for sure, But I think we both have a few fears. I don’t know why I’m so unsure; Even to the point I’m fighting tears. I thought I’d feel easier when he knew That I’d be coming to the ‘great “green” north’ For a visit to our friendship renew. Who knows why the tears are springing forth? I wonder if it was how he put his words? The phrase ‘I guess my reasons are the same’ With careful consideration of his actual words And long hesitation was the way they came. I hope that, mayhaps, the reason is one That will bring both of us great joy, But I’m afraid that when it’s all done The tears won’t be from happiness or joy. I can’t wait for new millennium Day one.
