Notes About The Poem

Work in progress, at present.

Have We Not Had Some Fun My Dear, Dear Girl

Have We Not Had Some Fun (My Dear, Dear Girl)

Oh my, how the years have run,
Have they not, my Dear, Dear girl?
Have they not seen their share of struggle and fun,
Have they not, my Dear, Dear girl?

Have we not tasted defeat,
Drunk of delight?
Have we not known the pleasures 
Of darkness and light?

Have we not known the warmth of the Sun
In the deep of the night?
Have we not, my Dear, Dear girl,
Have we not?

Do we not now carry with us
Those not so distant days
When we were clear in our hearts
While pure in our ways,
When the sun burned bright
When the stars danced above
To celebrate our unquenchable love
Through the deep velvet night
To bind us in trust
Through the fits and starts 
Of youthful dreams,
Through the rise and fall of naive schemes
Have we not, my Dear, Dear girl,
Have we not?

Have we not grown old, as One,
My Dear, Dear girl?
Have we not seen the passage of ten thousand suns,
My Dear, Dear girl?
Am I still your only one, 
Through all the tears and fun,
My Dear, Dear girl?
I hope it is so,
For all I know,
I am yours forever
My Dear, Dear girl,
My Dear, Dear girl.
