Analysis of A Book For You
Teresa Whitney 1951 (Tacoma)
I bought for you a book,
You may write within,
Stories oh so tall,
Yet there is no sin,
Deep inside this book,
Names you mention now,
Mine has been so often,
You may take a bow,
Beautiful are your word's,
Like a dream come true,
Remembering way back when,
I was loving you,
No other books are there,
Not what I have seen,
To even once compare,
To my very being,
You wrapped my heart in gold,
While telling your story,
Causing all the while,
Happy tears of glory,
I bought for you a book,
Beautiful are your words,
Written in pure gold,
The finest I ever heard.
