Laura Agnes, thank you so much for your love, hope, understanding, and joy! Thank you, as well, for teaching us everyday! A Lover’s Lament My love for you is like a song That sings to me at will. The music of a beating heart That sings and won’t be still.
And when the song is over And the beating heart is still. Don’t think that love will fade and die. Only the lover will. Laura Robertson
