THIS I SAY IS TRUE

WHY DO MY KITTEN SIGH,
HOW SO SOON YOUR SPIRITS DIE,
THE SUN IS GONE BUT HALF A MILE,
LOOK UP MY KITTY, LOOK INTO MY EYES.

I AM SO SORRY, MY ABSENCE MADE YOU CRY,
BUT I WAS GONE JUST TWO CLock’s CHIME,
WHILE YOU SLEPT, THOUGHTS OF LOVE 
LIKE BUTTERFLIES FLOODED MY HEART, 
AND SO I WENT PLUCKING YOU ROSES
IN THE PARK.

LET NOT YOUR MIND 
QUESTION MY LOVE FOR YOU,
ENTERTAINING SUCH THOUGHTS 
WILL ONLY MAKE YOU BLUE,
MY HEART BEATS ONLY FOR YOU,
THIS IS TRUE, MY KITTY… THIS IS EVER TRUE.

WILFORD BARKER.
