To My Sweet Loyal Friend

(poem)


To you my sweet loyal friend,
To you have i darling flowers send
A thousand times in my dreams -
In dreamy dreams; sweet serene.

You stole my heart in a flash
A splash of sweet tender surprise!
And held it there too long my dear
Too strong much more than it could bear.

I miss you darling each day, each year
Each word unspoken dear;
Each memory yet unshared here
Each picture we could not share-
Sweet surrender dear that we should bear
But we will not last forever here.

This love in my heart i shall forever hold,
Till the last of my breath should turn cold
And your tender voice shall always hold-
In my heart a place of dazzling gold!
