Lover's Friends (June 2, 2006)

Lover's Friends    (02 June, 2006)

They say she was young, and her smile set her apart,
yet it was this, that would come to rule his heart!
When his friends asked, have you seen an eye chart,
he would proudly say, she is my love, my sweetheart!

His friends would say, this woman is no Snow White,
for they were jealous, of a love liken to starlight.
As she also loved him, for his love she would fight,
then her love also true, and he held the copyright.

If you see them in public, you might even speculate,
how they found one another, perhaps on a blind date?
Her friends would ask, questions which did nauseate,
this only jealousness, of love that does illuminate.

Life is like that, with friends sometimes adversary,
each with their own opinion, or some bad commentary.
So if you’re truly in love, with a beauty like Mary,
then listen to the heart, not to friends commentary!
