Emerald and Lace

Timothy Lamar McKinley 1958 (Birmingham AL)

Her eyes were emerald,
She wore satin and lace.
Her beauty engulfed me,
All poise and grace.

Her lips were honey,
Her skin flavored cream.
Her love fulfilled me,
Even in my dream.

She was my reason for living,
My reason for life.
My hope for tomorrow,
My prayer for a wife.
