You Caught My Eye

You Caught My Eye


When I espied a pretty lady
to love who was so ready
I searched for words of choice
to prop up my husky voice.

                    *

You thought me too blind
or, that Writers have no mind?
You opined that I'm too royal
to beauty not quite loyal?

                    *

Nay, an eye by beauty caught
is an eye perfectly wrought
For, to cherish and to love
is a free Gift from Above!!
