Mike Gentile Poet Lyric

My Fortune

Fortune tellers come and go
Palms are read to say it’s so
But I don’t need some cards to know my life

I’ll love you till the day I die
And then forever dear, will I
Watch over you through joy and pain and strife

Fortune hunters spend their time
Seeking gold for life sublime
But I know that my fortune lives in you

For sharing secrets side by side
While taking this world for a ride
Is wonder worthy of what king’s can do

My fortune has the name of June
                     She sings the chorus of this tune
I know for all eternity
She’ll be the only one for me

Gershon Wolf January 29, 2019 at 2:20 PM This is such a beautiful 'homemade' valentine to your one and only. And I'm somehow sure that she deserves every accolade that you've given her. What a wonderful couple you must be... Ah, true love! A FAVE, Mike. ~ Gershon Mike Gentile January 29, 2019 at 2:49 PM Thank you so much Gershon, I am so glad that you liked it !!
