Dear Allen, Thank you for replying so soon!  Let me see what I can add...I actually haven't met Matt as yet and Fiona is a work friend.  She is really good-hearted and has been a great friend and even though I haven't known her for a long time, I know she will be a friend for life.  She works in television (in publicity) and has been very supportive of me (as a TV writer) and always has great enthusiasm.  She didn't think she would ever find anyone (even though she's only 27!) and when Matt came along it was like a bolt out of the blue for her.  As I said earlier, it was a whirlwind romance but they seem perfect for each other.  I guess I wanted to somehow in the poem reflect how much I feel she deserves this happiness as she is a special person.  She sees good in everyone and I want her to know how much it means to me that she is as happy as I am married to my husband (Arnie). Allen, I hope this helps but let me know if there is anything else.  I am trying to wrack my brain as to what else to say but it's okay if it's fairly general - as long as she knows how happy I am for her. Thanks again and I love what you are doing.  I am going to make a donation to the RSPCA and WSPA (World Society for the Protection of Animals) which I am a member anyway, but I think it's great.  I will definitely be spreading the word of your web page.  I can't believe I found something like this!  Thanks again, Cheers Vicki

Whirlwinds

 

You are really good hearted,

and you've become a great friend,

its funny where friendships begin,

its where other journeys end.

 

And when winds blow hard,

and you throw in a little chance,

lonely ships get blown together,

and get caught in a whirlwind romance.

 

And then their destiny awaits,

as those winds start to calm,

and those ships head for harbour,

somewhere safe and far from harm.

 

And I know you've found happiness,

(I told you it wasn't too late !),

just know that I am so very pleased,

that you've sailed on your wind of fate.
