Someday... someone…

And so, every night, this we pray!
Over the far hills, peeks, the sun

Like fine gold
Seven times purified
Her heart is pure
Love alone burns inside!
Not a speck of ill

The strong breeze blew my cap away
Chasing after it was simply futile
And I watched it fly over the qua
Into the sea; and I could but smi
For it’s been that kind of a day

A secret passion;
A peculiar indulgence
She kept from everyone
Except her conscience!
And for so many years

When I was a young teen, she was
She knew all about me, because I
Knew all my skeletons, on her I c
Ain’t my sweetheart, just a really
As always, life intervenes, and we

She sat on the porch watching the
In a swing, she and her love sat e
But now she sits all alone and in
Praying it will go away, and none
