Portrait Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Annabelle lives far away

you see

and that’s surely far

from Sophie and me

but we make believe

as we’re having lunch

that Annabelle’s coming

for Saturday brunch

we might draw and paint

or build with our blocks

we might dress our dollies

in fancy pink frocks

we could take a walk

or go to the park

where we’d sit and talk

‘till long after dark

we’d try to catch up

on current events

and family stuff

time’s limited, hence

there’s never enough

oh, imagining’s good

but it sure doesn’t beat

a visit that could 

and would be a treat!
