Hello Caroline, how have you been? <br />Any new songs? Any new friends? <br />Your sisters growing, yes I can tell, <br />I see your face's in my wishing well. <br />The last time I saw you, oh what a show. <br />Dancing, running and tantrumes you throw. <br />How are the mountains, so far away? <br />I'm in the city and the buildings are grey. <br />What I would give to see you at times. <br />Hearing your laughter and chuckling rhymes. <br />Watch as your sister's eyes come alive, <br />from all new things that shine in the light. <br />The best of friends I'm sure we would be. <br />So young in your youth, so fast, so free. <br />I am missing more than scratches and tears. <br />Most of all, I am missing the years. <br />Your growing too fast and thats all I can see. <br />Before too long, just fading memories. <br />I am sure to see you from time to time. <br />Each passing year your youth is denied. <br />So far away from everyone's turn, <br />to laugh and smile as you grow and learn. <br />My niece Caroline. How have you been? <br />Any new dances or school house friends? <br />Its good to hear your voice on the phone. <br />Tell me more before your up and gone. <br />Like a silent whisper from a trailing wind. <br />You can tell me more when I see you again.<br /><br />Gulliver Gimble<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hello-caroline/
