What will I say?

DevonTBates 1980 (Norfolk)



What, shall, I say?
 If, I, did, not love, who, could make, me feel, okay?
 If, the rose, did, not bloom, then autumn, would, prove!
 Your, love, still, paves, my way!
Who, is, the best?
 With, no heart, a numb, quest!
Yet, life, does progress!
 Today, and tomorrow, strive, my, beautiful, friend!
