FINE AS SILKEN THREAD

 

Fine as silken thread

Her hair shone like burnished

Gold, in the bright sunlight

SWEET JOANNE

 

Sweet Joanne

With the perfect tan

Consummate style

And the white toothed smile

 

Joanne so fair

With the brunette hair

Oh hear my plea

Won’t you please go out with me?

YOUR DELICATE HAND

 

Your delicate hand

Is pale, your finger perfect

To fit the golden band

ALL MY EGGS IN ONE BASKET

 

I gave my heart, and put

All my eggs in one basket, but

I have no regrets

I COUNT MY BLESSINGS

 

I count my blessings

I count them twice

I thank the lord

For one so nice

 

I will always love you

Until the very end

You are my lover

My wife and my friend

VISIBLE IN THE CLARITY

 

How gently she smiled, with

Love visible in the clarity

Of her perfect green eyes

THE BEAUTY OF HEAVEN

 

The clouds obscure each star

But the beauty of heavens array

Is just out of sight
