Chapter One

            A bouquet of love:

    May this bouquet speaks loudly of my love
    A garland to adorn the heart of my dove,
    The red roses are barely the color of your lips
    And your beauty stem beyond the folded tulips.

    From a body and spirit up and doing
    With a heart agog with love still pouring,
    I wonder if my love for you is unrequited
    For the thought of you make me excited.

    To this gift the added dazzle thereon
    Display the love within my heart,
    And when these petals are faded and gone
    My love will remain as from the start.

    You are the one I love; my bounty for sure
    And having you I'd never ask for more.
