Forever Friend
Bottle the fragrance of a cool spring rain
Admire the sway of zephyr-blown grain
Remember the ribbons a rare rainbow sends
More than a lover, my forever friend
Listen to waves crest and crash on the sand
Serenaded by seagulls: God’s blaring band
Mysteries known when ear gives to lend
More than a lover, my forever friend
Mist of the waterfall kisses your face
Time freezes the moment-makes eternal space
Hearts as a garden we’re willing to tend
More than a lover, my forever friend
The babbling brook seems to whisper your name
Evolutionary language-waters never the same
But you are the bedrock that helps me defend
More than a lover, my forever friend
Dispel all the myths of a man with a maid
Trust our foundation, together twain laid
My kindred spirit-no fences to mend
More than a lover, my forever friend
