When your backyard weather vane turns

With a gentle southerly breeze,

May it a moment soothe concerns,

My thoughts warm winds, I send you these.

When unexpected pleasant day

Lifts your spirits, lips curved in smile,

Know from over Ocean I pray,

Breathed across the Lakes, span each mile.

Mountains cannot stem heartfelt prayer,

Nor space diminish fervent wish.

Dear friend, I know you hear me there

When warm winds the fallen leaves swish.
