The years had passed, yet here we… Our voices strong, our laughter br… As if the past were clear in sight No time could ever stifle that We spoke of days so wild and free

Gentle almond eyes Thick silky hair lustrous sheen Lovely flawless skin Porcelain goddess Yet fire and warmth in her eyes

Forget tomorrow Stop tarry smell the roses Today waits on you Celebrate life to the full Sleep tonight with no regrets
