Blogger Lisa just mentioned in a comment here that she was reading the poet Ruth Pitter. I am not familiar with that poet, and I discovered right away that our local public library also is not. But when I went looking online, I found two nice poems immediately. Here’s one that I think Lisa will appreciate; I feel that I know her a little bit from reading over the years about all the many things that interest her. As soon as I read the poem below I imagined Lisa and me meeting in person one day, and smiling face to face.
THE PLAIN FACTS
See what a charming smile I bring,
Which no one can resist;
For I have found a wondrous thing –
The Fact that I exist.
And I have found another, which
I now proceed to tell.
The world is so sublimely rich
That you exist as well.
Fact One is lovely, so is Two,
But O the best is Three:
The Fact that I can smile at you,
And you can smile at me.
Gladsome Lights 
This is a delightful poem!

Oh, you darling girl! xo! Yes, this is a delightful poem! It seems that many in this little book I’m looking at have to do with death. It’s called The Ermine. I will have to post a few of them.

I have tried three times to type in a comment and each time I’ve lost it before I can press Publish. I like this lovely little poem. The sentiment is so sweet.
