To Sweet, Sweet Elizabeth, 1969
Your soft, rose tinged
and freckled cheeks
so beautiful; aglow
I still can see them,
though you were mine,
so very long ago
Your curls, a frame
of sunshine for a
shy and smiling face
Your tender heart
and gentle voice,
pure memories of grace
Our sweaty palms,
our nervous laughs,
the sweetest agonies
Two hearts in love,
two worlds apart,
the saddest destiny
