A very dear friend of mine, whom I seldom see, mentioned how nice it would be to have lunch together. We mused we could catch up on so many things and simply enjoy one another’s company. As we both live in different countries and getting together for lunch is impossible, I created an “imaginary lunch” which will have to do until we can meet again in person some day.

Our Little Lunch

A table for two, right by the window, please.
What a spectacular view of the park and the trees.
It’s so nice to see you ‘cause it’s been awhile;
Your face is so bright when lit with your smile.

Carrot soup for a starter, with rustic French bread
We’ll talk of the books we’ve recently read.
Our conversation meanders to everyday news
As we catch up and linger at our table for two.

Fat berries from market, tossed in a jumble
Arrive at our table in a fresh berry crumble.
We nibble the berries, the oats, and the cream
While we safely confess of that which we dream.

Too soon it arrives, the tea at the end
Such a wonderful meal, shared with you, my friend.
You are busy, I know, but thanks a bunch
For joining me in our imaginary lunch.
