Gwendolyn.
Oh, Gwendolyn.
Thou dost negate a world confined.
Thy serenity and radiant, empowering smile
Efface cruel entrapment with thy joy.
Thy bright eyes and loving glances
Show us the quiet and gentle comfort
Of ancient wisdom unalloyed.
Foolish cares, from thee we learn, are naught
When through thee shines ablaze the power of Love.
Dedicated to Gwendolyn, Bill and Victoria.
