To Mary~

My friend you live so far from me
But you seem so close in many ways
Our hours are so different
When it's night there, here it's days

But that won't stop our friendship
Or ruin our daily routine
Or you telling me how your day went
And me telling you my dreams

For distance cannot separate
The feelings of friends that are dear
And no matter how far you may be
Somehow you'll always be near
