Hold me down when I feel flighty.
Lift me up when I’m earthbound.
When in doubt, just take a chance and
swing this partner round and round.

I am yours and you are mine,
grown together on the vine
of life and love and days well spent,
formed and fed by blessings sent:
I hope you’ll listen to my take
on how to find a mate.
My vision is unique and wise.
My counsel is first-rate.
call me from the sea to meet you
in the breach of dawn and dusk
shapes and angles flow to greet you
midnight masses, morning musk
He said yes. She said no.
She said high. He said low.
He said dark. She said light.
She said wrong. He said right.
Has it really been a decade
since you were in my arms?
Ten years ago, I bid farewell
to you and all your charms.
You’ll always be the one for me;
we’re two peas in a pod.
So plump, so round…You’re all I see.
My soft, green heart is awed.
