For A New Found Friend

Tom Miller

For you are the promise of the breaking dawn
And of the taste of chocolate…

And of the aroma of a fine wine
And of the hint of wild flowers on the soft summer breeze…

You are mystery and excitement
Exotic and enticing

You are a novel
To be read with relish

A journey of learning and experiencing
To be cherished and treasured

For it is not merely the cover that invites
But the content within that excites.

— Tom Miller
