The Wizard
The Wizard
By Rick Rucker
My life has begun anew,
For that, I must thank you!
You have colorized my Life,
That is why I want you for my Wife!
A sudden tornado blew,
When I first looked upon you!
While my existence was gray, and bland,
Colors exploded when I took your Hand!
My past was simply blown away,
My life transformed, on that very day!
The Kansas of my former life,
So sad, and full of strife,
It had permeated every part,
But mostly eaten away my Heart,
The Land inhabited by you,
So Magical, with but one thing to do,
I must ask you for a new Heart,
That would cause me to start,
To live again,
To feel the luckiest of men,
A gentle touch, a loving Kiss,
In decades, my first Bliss!
I would grow old alone, I was certain,
But not the case, due to you, the Wizard behind the curtain!
You granted me a new Heart,
And with it, wisdom you did impart,
A Heart is not meant to stay,
It does its best work when given away!
That which you gave to me,
I give back to you, with glee!
I now say, without pause,
You are The Great and Wonderful Oz!
