LILLISONG
C Ra Mcguirt
Luminous of hair and eye
Lady of my Friend
Lithe, your mind and body
How do I begin
To thank you for attempting
To see into the heart
Of my philosophic Brother,
At the strange new start
Of a waltz which may whirl on
Throughout the coming years?
None of us can know for sure
If Love and Friends endure,
But I found the moment fond
When you stood up to my song
And said I could do better--
Your sweet ear wasn’t wrong
Slender soldier of the soul
I like your honest style
Stay and help me find some more
Good words for us a while.
