For You, Elisabetta

For You, Elisabetta

by JOSEPH BRYANT (Italian Stallion)

(Wall to wall, carpeted, my heart…)

Through the dawn of day ’till the end
my thoughts of you will never depart,
I’ll pray for you to descend,
pray for you my dearest friend.

(Fence to fence, aligned, your bed…)

With flowers given, birthday greetings,
and cards written, tears will begin to shed –
caressing the ground, incomplete
I’ll pray for time to rewind and not repeat.

For you, Elisabetta,
a birthday present
which I’ll deliver,
forever.

(Soul to soul, embraced, our love…)

Holding on close, I cleared my throat,
looked to the bold blue skies above
grasping what I had wrote
on the note:

For you, Elisabetta,
a birthday present
which I’ll deliver
forever.

Holding and smiling on, because…
there is so much to love.

For you, Elisabetta,
a birthday present
which I’ll deliver
forever.

Holding and smiling on, because…
there is so much to love.

Holding and smiling on, because…
you’re still the one I love.

Lady Annabelle by TOKONI O. UTI  She has a will, she has a choice.  Now too loud to hear the noise.  All those who never wanted to be.  And all the voices that we see.  Today she drowns in her regrets.  Tomorrow she is silent but will not forget.  There is nothing else to give. […]
