A Part of me...
***

A part of my childhood, you are

A boy who had a beautiful soul.

It shows in the way you care -

For your garden is so wonderful!
***

You cheer me up when I am sad

You gave me hope when hope is nil.

In your company, I am always glad

For the joy and laughter I continually feel.
***

I constantly wish to be by your side-

Just being with you fills me with pride.

You bring jauntiness in my stride –

And make me feel like an exquisite sprite!
***

I always yearn for your smile and gentleness.

And see the look in your eyes that says you care

In you I found a world of love and togetherness

But cut short by the devil's snare!
***

Now that fate had decided for us to part-

Loneliness and melancholy pervaded my days.

In your garden and in your life, I never wish to depart

And so my love, in my heart you'll stay always!
