My Bride

Timothy Lamar McKinley 1958 (Birmingham AL)



You are the lily of the valley,
You are the apple of my eye.
Your passion is your beauty,
Your beauty without deny.

You have ravished my heart,
You have stolen my thunder.
Why do I love you?
Is it any wonder?

I search in vain,
For what I cannot possess.
I will search forever,
For your sweet caress.
