Across the seas and skies so wide, Dear Gayil, my friend in shimmering light, From Eretz Yisrael, where dreams collide, I pen these words in the quiet night. We met as children, in camp's sweet embrace, Laughter and secrets beneath the pine, Though distance has grown in time's gentle pace, Our friendship, dear, remains divine. Your sisters dance in joy's embrace, With rings and dreams in bright array, Yet in your heart, there is a space, Where hope and patience softly play. May you find love's gentle course, A partner true, a spirit kind, And until then, let winds endorse The bond we share, forever entwined. Though miles part us, and days unfold, In every thought, in every prayer, I hold you close, my friend of gold, Across the world, beyond compare.
