Gertrude and Alice

Open your baby blues

And see what lies in front of you

Art far more beautiful

Than in your dreams you view


Greens and blacks

Periods of blue

Deep red of rose

In a crimson hue


If you look close enough

It may be possible to see

A hint of Pablo Picasso

Or of Salvador Dali


Looking closer still

Beyond the paint

And on through time

You'll see that in each picture

There is love in every line


In every line of prose

And each poem that I write

I infer all my love for you

And what my life is like


Now that my days

Are spent with you

And I can see your face

My words can now reach further

Than the bounds of time and space


Sweet and gentle caretaker

Of my body, heart and soul

In you I've found a warmth

That bears the bitter cold


Through all we do together

And the secrets that we share

We show our true compassion

And ability to care


I've found a love

That's more than love

A love that will go on

Long after all remembrances

Of me are surely gone


My lovely rose

My red, red rose

So beautiful in hue

We'll change the world with passion

From us they'll take their cue
