Love Poem

LOVE-POEM
With whom do I rest my thoughts
the whole day long ?
Who lifts the burdens of the day
from off my shoulder-weary frame
in happy contemplation
of the time when next we meet ?
Who was so kind to me that I
think only about the kind of ways
in which I might reciprocate ?
It is my galant galumptuous girl
who is a Killarney girl through and through
with all that that implies
Unlike this poem love does not end
but endures long past the ending of the written word

  1. Withe luck we all have that feeling, but just can't express it so well.
