Because to dream you taught me 1rst
To seek earth's beauty everywhere
And make 1t mine, then deeper delve,
The prize with others. too. to share:
That YOU were near 70 lift me up.
I shall be always grateful, dear.
With happiness You filled my cup.
Because no matter what may come.
Upon the walls that we two built.
with beating hearts Of ecstacy;
Because we planted vines of love
About 1t since when first we met.
And watched them bloom in fragrance
I could not easily forget.
Because you taught me all the songs
That make SO beautiful world,
And gave me hope to add 4 few
NV heart goes out to you, and will
Until the final starry end.
Because of all these things you are
My dearly loved, my trusted friend.
