15. Lady

Life takes us through many seasons

Some pleasant and some we long to forget

Due to a number of different reasons

I am happy when there is no cause to regret

For when you were my close friend

'Twas clear my joy had no end.


You bring the sunshine into my life

Your smile dispels the groomy cloud

My days become free of strife

And the birds in the parks sing out loud

The rhythms of life become more pleasant

The journey becomes steady, no longer errant


I miss the friendly and frank conversations

And many strolls, walks, and roves

And I declare without reservations

That you are worth more than treasure troves

Where is the joy in life without a great companion

That's worth more than a billion?


It is with the very best of intentions

That I digitally pen these verses from the heart

I surely intend to write you more compositions 

Just for you, I have more under my hat 

for your presence makes me radiant

And leaves me yet more brilliant! 


So, although a lot has been expressed

There's still much more to be said

For with you, I will never be depressed

Since to you I am divinely led

Please make my dreams come true 

For I am deep in love with you!


I wish you would be my Valentine

For my joy would become boundless 

As you become my sunshine

And I cease to be restless

To my ship, you are a safe harbour

And with you, I have found sweet succour.
