A love potion

My dear, with you

A record moment of ecstasy

Dispelling the gloomy cloud

Of stress, anxiety and vexation

Brightens my day,

Darling, what a holy wind blew you

In my way?

Please with me forever stay

You are

The happiest thing that occurred

To me tiil today.

 My princess

A warm morning sun

Flickering a ray of light

Making my fogy

Bachelor’s heart bright,

A curtain raiser

Thawing the ice of solitude

You afforded me

A turn around

That rendered my life sound.

What a surprise

You gave me children—

God’s gifts in a human guise!
