In the lowland of the swamp,
No ceremony, no pomp.
But a white dove sings her song,
It cheers my heart, makes me strong.
It feels so good to love her,
I can almost hear her purr.

Even so, darkness creeps in,
An ill wind beyond the bend.
My darling has a price to pay,
She lives in sadness each day.
If she would see this she'd cry,
Her delight has gone awry.

I'm here for her, she can see,
Wish I could take her pain for me.
I long for her loving cheer,
But she lives in complex fear.
I'm saddened to observe this
Anguish, when there should be bliss.

Tender, sad,sensitive and
heartfelt Jerry. You always write
from the heart.
