A Penny, A Moment, A Thousand Dollars

A penny for your thoughts, 

That's all I ask from you today.

We've been separated by duties on the lines 

And dismissed at conflicting times.

A moment is all I am asking to have, 

So we may find the chance to breathe and laugh. 

It's been tumultuous these past weeks

With few breaks and more stress than peace

You know I'm missing the conversation

The banter, hilarity, interesting creations,

I can only wonder, do you miss it too? 

A thousand dollars for a day with you,

I'd pay more if it kept this bond alive.
