You and I shall forever be,
Real good friends for all to see.
Happily did we meet through fate,
On a blind and nervous date.

There were many times of trial,
When our feelings ran high, without denial.
Lots of words were tossed about,
But never did we raise a shout.

Although your life was never easy,
Your lovely temperament was always breezy.
Never once did I see you low,
Your rhythm for life was a steady flow.

Your photograph stands pride of place,
I give you a wink when I look at your face.
I see that happy look in your eye,
The one I'll always remember you by.

I hope you will remember,
How me met in September.
And the times that we had,
Made us ever so glad.
