You began to write the history of your life
With a kind of fear;
I know not why you are so great;
O, Helen, to me, you are so dear.
You're talented, you're esteemed;
How enchanting your fantasy is!
Your voice is always buzzing in my heart,
Just like the honey-seeker bees.
You are fantastic, you are the greatest;
I look upon you as my buddy;
You're as broad-minded as Mount Everest;
You're cleaning my spirit which was muddy.
Whenever I feel frustrated,
Your story stimulates me;
O, pal, I really love you heartily;
In my melancholy moments, you provide me with glee.
You foment me with new vigour,
When my life is a smilax;
You counsel me to practise with great rigour;
You help me reach the climax.
My wife says, 'Relax'
My son says, 'Chillax'
My daughter tells me, 'Smilax'
I nod ~ downing Ex-Lax
Splendiferous dish of deliciousness, a bundled scent.
Tifblue blueberry, gardenia, smilax, lily, orchid choir.
In their glory years, the peak of true senses ferment.
Splendiferous dish of deliciousness, a bundled scent.
Their garden romance of plenipotent flame is spent.
Rouse of sight, sound, touch embrace a burning desire.
Splendiferous dish of deliciousness, a bundled scent.
Tifblue blueberry, gardenia, smilax, lily, orchid choir.
