she came on a fine cool morning
the last of a course i was attending
as we crowded the pavement
waiting to be let in hello she said
put her arms around me hugged me
gave me a welcoming kiss
long time she said she looked
familiar but i did not know her
couldnt make it before she said
trouble now were splitting up
tomorrow ill be homeless
i have a spare room i said
you can stay there for a while
great she said tomorrow ill move in
ill have to confirm it with the boys
i said their permission will be needed
no worry there - i wont be in the way
she said ill take care of everything
they can get on with their lives
you can get on with your writing
all the problems of the house ill manage
another hug an overwhelming smile
she wove herself away leaving
her presence pressed upon the morning
she hasnt come of course although
at heart it feels as if she has
every day i wait for her appearance
believing the dream to be real
