from our house to yours, we wish you a happy, fun-filled easter!

and to those, who we would love to spend easter with but cannot, because distance separates us:

when i wish upon a star
i wish we didn't live so far.
but those friendly hugs across the space
put a smile on my face.
i'd rather have you standing near
where i could feel that hug, right here.
for i could use your warm embrace
and see the smile upon your face.
so when i wish upon a star,
i only wish we didn't live so far.
