AUTHOR NOTES

GLASS RAIN—the poetry by Margaret Roxby

“THE LOST FRIEND” was found among the author’s papers. To her Round Robin poet friends she added this note: I once had a friend who “pulled away” for some mysterious reason—but later on she came to me for a renewal—and we are still friends, nigh on to 50 years. But this poem was written for a friend of mine whose “pulling away’ friend has never returned—not yet, but maybe there is hope someday she will. The poem is included for I Want You to Be Happy Day, March 2.
