I live contentedly in a log cabin in the beautiful lake region of northern New Jersey. I’ve recently published my sixth collection of poetry, Love Sonnets, with Kelsay Press. I most enjoy my family, writing, pizza, and football. For more information please visit my website: http://williambaer.net
Where in the World is the Girl for Me?
Where in the world is the girl for me?
Could she be here? Or far away?
Where in the world could she possibly be?
Is she sitting at home watching T.V.,
or dining alone in a Village café?
Where in the world is the girl for me?
Is she floating through dreams on a desolate sea,
tossing in sleep in a damp negligee?
Where in the world can she possibly be?
Is she kind, and thoughtful, sometimes carefree,
loves movies, and poems, and walks by the bay?
Where in the world is the girl for me?
Is she lonely, unattached, and free,
and, sometimes, does she also say:
Where in the world can he possibly be?
Is she sitting alone stirring her tea,
hoping, somehow, I’ll find her today?
Where in the world is the girl for me?
Where in the world can she possibly be?
