My Gracious Friend
I'd never met anyone so profound
As you. The day I met you by the pond
We chimed, 'hello,' and then struggled to bond.
Minutes, neither of us made a sound,
In silence to follow, staring around.
Oblivious that of you I was most fond,
Struggled wishing I had some secret wand.
Wishing I was rich, I took out a pound,
Planted a cool coin onto your palms deep,
Into your blue eyes I search for appeal,
Don't be too harsh, I'll try not to weep.
Don't mock, please treasure the love which I feel;
A promise so sacred, this secret keep,
I'll love you forever, please this do seal.
