To you, my love

To you, my love

Homeward bound went I
In the month of June.
To my family in spirits high
Singing a merry tune!

Four weeks at home ahead
Surrounded by love and care;
Hot meals, a soft bed
And thoroughly fabulous fare!

Never did I suspect then
That life's a funny game;
Little did I expect when
I'd meet a pretty dame!

I remember the day we first met
At Café Coffee Day.
The time was right, the scene was set
But we didn't know what to say!

Then I looked up at your face
And saw a warm glow.
From nowhere, with serious pace
Words began to flow.

Something clicked, something jelled
Magic was in the air.
A voice within my head yelled
That I'd found my maiden fair!

I could see you liked me too
From thine honest, sparkling eyes.
My dream of long had come true
In you, beautiful and wise!

I must have had luck profound
My heart leapt with joy.
To the wonderful person I had found
No match, the Helen of Troy!

We got engaged in a short while
Amidst friends and family.
With your radiant beaming smile
Photographed for posterity!

Before long I had to go
And we sat hand in hand.
I realised I was going to miss you so-
A feeling I couldn't stand!

Time went by too fast alas!
I had to say goodbye.
Not a moment since has passed
In my heart without a heavy sigh!

I'm far away, by many a mile
You I badly miss.
In person to behold your beautiful smile-
Is now my only wish!
