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. <*>
