Mon Paris

My love, I cherish
Your words
Your thoughts
Your soft lips

My love
I cherish the walks
The soft winds of fall
le jardin, L'eau

The flowers in bloom
The cafes and cloudy skies
Madeleine, columns of the past
Your eyes, holding on, to the last

The streets so vibrant, your touch at my side
And as we stroll along life's garden paths
Your soul sings in silence
Paris at last

Your french words are not foreign to me. I was born and raised in Montreal and lived there for the first 42 years of life. Studied french in school... it was mandatory. Have longed to visit Paris but the time is getting short! Hope you are enjoying it here!
