We are head over heels for your personality

Our relationship with you is life-long

Time spent together is unforgettable

Amazing river, you need a tribute song

Need an artist who resonates with your tempo

Appreciates when the rhythm is slow

Responds to the natural crescendo

Write a chorus that speaks to your flow

A mix of rock for your bottom,

Some blues for your mountain skies

Country for the scenery

Inspired by love, as is seen through your eyes

You mirror the goodness in each of us

And mirror the goodness in the world

An unlimited source of intelligence

An abundance of nurturing unfurled

Earth breathes in the love that is needed

We breathe in and feel reassured

Create expressions of our feelings about you

We share, and others feel drawn toward

I’d add some words to the tribute

I hope someone starts to compose

It’s a simple wish, as it were

Not till you show up, will we see how it goes

THE END
