Analysis of When
Kimberly Nina Holland 1969 (San Diego, California)
When at times we're so far apart
Can sorrow break our tender hearts
I love you, truly I do
Sleep is sweet as I dream of you.
All my world is like a rose
Night is here so I must close
With this I will leave you one thought in mind
You must read the first word in every line
