HENRIETTA

& MARK

mark scott teachnor

H-ave you ever seen a queen, for the very first time and, on the spot, aver:

E-nticing her heart, is a must that must be a capture without demurr?

N-ow, if you haven't, let me tell you, I have and I'm not ashamed to say---R-ather proud, in fact, for her heart was pure and was conquered in this way-I-n the instant, in which our eyes first met; a smile became our lips... E-ndeavoring compose, I took her hand within my fingertips.

T-ho' words were not needed, we said, "hello", and read each others' mind.

T-hat, within a glance, love came by chance; lonely days were left behind.

A-nd, now, whenever I ask myself,

"How did you fall in love?"

A-ll I can say is, the love-light in her eyes gave my heart a gentle shove.

N-eeded by someone, as her need was for me, good fortune took the stand... D-reams were fulfilled, and for two lonely people, fate dealt a winning hand.

M-isery, nor sorrow ever crosses our path to destroy the love we share ...

A-nd sometimes, they try to waver our thoughts but, our love, they can't impair.

R-ight or wrong, we'll stand together,

always, side by side

K-eeping the love, we share, impart;

until, we both have died.
