This Love - February 2002 by Laura Knight
There lived a boy down the way
Whose heart was filled with glee.
He'd read somewhere about a love
That suited one like he.
A love between two friends so true
That ripened like a peach
From fondness to respect and trust
To a love that strengthened each.
This love, it held within its grasp
A method for living true;
To know your mate like no one else,
To ensure she's right for you.
This love is comfort, faith, and joy;
You're better for her care.
This love is tender, fun, and free;
To find it is quite rare.
This boy decided to go forth
And search the world for love.
Although he failed more than once,
He'd not give up on love.

There lived a boy down the way
Whose heart was filled with glee.
He'd found his love, his heart's desire
And married her did he.
