Ab Imo Pectore...

If you could have any wish come true,

What would you wish?

For glory, fame, and fortune to follow you;

Or for revenge to be served on a dish?

I confess, a single wish just won’t do.

There’s so much to wish for,

And many things to settle too.

Makes me wish that there’re more wishes in store.

Her caring nature puts angels to shame;

Her childishness makes everything a game;

Her fiery temper sets things aflame;

Her melodious voice gives music its name.

Underneath it all,

She wants someone who will be hers,

Someone who catches her when she does fall,

Someone who will accompany her through her fears.

My final wish

Is for her to find all that and more;

To find the person of her dreams;

To be the one that they’ll adore.

Parting Gift...

As the years pass,

There’s little left to say.

As the sun sets on what will be, at last,

The final chapter of the day.

Weeks past have been magical.

Frolicking by the beach,

Watching the sunrise, and breakfasts in bed.

Happiness, it seemed, was never far from our reach.

Now it seems time has come,

He’s here to claim me.

Yes, I know it’s Grim,

But there’s no other option I can see.

Do not shed a tear,

For we won’t be apart.

I’ll leave you my song,

And when you miss me, listen to it with your heart.
