James Fraser Poet Quatrain

When I'D First Seen Her

 

When I'd first seen her
I thought oh my oh my, 
This is the face whose words
Wowed my thoughts to sigh

I'd have to say I was captivated
From a reading point of view
It wasn't until I'd read further
That us writing gradually drew

Then there came that moment
That would change my life for sure
It was time for us to meet
To pull our writes to pure

We met in the busy hub of Manila
Ninoy was where she waited
This Highlander whom she captivated
Whom now has become so sated

We holidayed amidst the beauty 
In the lovely Philippines
Intramuros to Batangas
In the Enchanted Kingdom she gleamed

Then the days and months
Progressed to growing hearts
Although eight thousand miles
Knowing our futures in start

I'm smiling as I look above
Simply knowing where we've been
We're Mr and Mrs Fraser now
Sharing the Filipino Scottish scene.
