For Friendship or Love

Pirate saw a little lamb, her fleece as dark as coal

The hat she wore

There in her door

In heart so full of soul

The question stands, to this old man, will lamb enjoy this rhyme

A dove so sweet

That I should meet

A child out of time

In days of old, or so I'm told, I'd bare my heart and soul

For want of lamb

for that I am

To make my life her goal

This flower I see, if it could be, would warm this heart as bold

This girl of mine

Yet out of time

Would love me though I'm old

If you could know, what life would sow, our life would be a wonder

In mine eye

Our time would fly

Would this really be a blunder?

So here I sit, with little wit, wondering what I'd miss

In your soft eyes

No spoken lies

Will life be as a kiss

With pen and ink, that I should think, I write this poem to thee

What you would say

For that, I'd pay

Our life that it should be
