A Gift of Red

He caught me one night, As I shivered with cold, His words drew me forward, As hearts stories were told. Stories of love, Of passions so pure, Of lifes deep regrets, Yet...his good humour endured. Here was a man, Complete and unending, A man with deep talents, A man worth befriending. Now what he pulls forward, With his poetic display, Is the opening flowers, In loves sweet bouquet. A beautiful saviour, Warm arms outspread, My hearbeat grows stronger, For my gift of Red. A tribute to Red O'Mara © 2013 Ruby Honeytip
