the near north
partly cloudy days
adorn my tomorrows
and my sorrows
are growing
deep

i love you...

i remember when first i said it
...the first time i realized it

i'd watched you from afar
when i met you...close up
i knew you were the one for me

when the sun sets
on my mature
days
i want you near me

when the pep in my step
lessens
and my stride is full
no more
i want you at my side
...to ease my spirits

like before.

YES...i love you.

i've been sitting here
under this old, oak tree
since the spring
listening to the river's song

i've watched the leaves
flutter in the breeze
doing their summer and fall things
from forest green
to a dusty gold

i watched them twirl in the winds
i watched them fall in the cold

all and all
i've thought of you.

the river is quiet today
it's lost some of its get up and go
like me, it's drying up

still,
i love the song it sings

it makes me think of you
...listening to
its early morning
and evening
blues

oh...

did i say that I LOVE YOU.

i know i'm getting
SENILE
in my old age
can't remember the way i used to
my vision is a little blurry
and my stride
oh, i told you 'bout my stride
did it

anyway,

i just wanted you to know
I LOVE YOU
and
in case you didn't know it
I MISS YOU, TOO.

i may not be able to visit tomorrow
my forecast is mostly cloudy
with chances of flurries
and my sorrows
are growing
deep
DID I SAY THAT?
well,
the cold has settled in
and the winds
...they've become fierce

but i'll be thinking of you

by the way,
you know i'm getting on in years, now
so, i guess it would be a good time
to ask you to put in a kind word or two
with GOD.

if you don't mind.

I LOVE YOU.
