A Portrait In Black and White

A Portrait in Black and White (A painting by Briton Riviere) There she lies in black and white. So beautiful she lies there in my sight. She gave me strength when I was weak, And gave me the peace that I did seek. The road ahead I could not see, But then like pure magic she came straight to me. She gave to me her precious love Which I know in my heart was sent from above. I’m so thankful today she walked into my life. She came without warning and became my dear wife. I look at her picture sometimes late at night, And feel myself lucky she made my life right.
