Love Lessons From Lorna

I read the tale of Lorna Doone And to my heart it was a boon Such steadfast love makes me to swoon But YOUR love ends too soon, too soon…. To trust that love does persevere And conquers every ghastly fear To h'ven itself it draws one near But YOUR love brings a tear, a tear Me thinks such love cannot be real Though oft its burning I do feel My tiny heart with it does reel But YOUR love has no zeal, no zeal Dear John and Lorna faced their foes Their story with great beauty glows And heaven only such love knows But MY love for you just grows…. It shows…… It flows…… Yes, my love for you just flows. Eileen Manassian Ghali
