My girlfriend drew this picture when we were in high school. It deserves more powerful words but this is my modest effort.
Drawn by Karen Blankenship Johnson, 1967
A TASTE OF HONEY

It’s just a scrap of paper.
The pencil drawing starting to fade,
but to me A Taste of Honey
is a treasure lovingly made.
Once upon a time
during days long gone,
I was young and in love
with my best friend Don.
As I sat in study hall
and whispered with my good friend,
she picked up a pencil
and drew a love without end.
She titled it A Taste of Honey and
a romantic scene began to appear.
As I looked at her creation,
I knew I’d cherish it for many a year.
It’s just a scrap of paper.
The pencil drawing starting to fade,
but to me A Taste of Honey
is a treasure lovingly made.
