Dear Joyce:


Like the sparrows,
I pray God's watched over you
all these many years.
Cupid's arrow
is still lodged deep in my heart.
It's uncanny, dear.

Oh, Joyce,
loving you was one of my life's greatest joys!
How I wish you'd became my wife!
Now wouldn't it be a novel twist
for you to change your name... to Joyce James?

Straight and narrow
is the path I've trod so long,
sans company near.
Heartaches harrow.
Simple math: I'm all alone!
Have you any fears?

Oh, Joyce,
loving you was one of my life's greatest joys!
How I wish you'd became my wife!
Now wouldn't it be a novel twist
for you to change your name... to Joyce James?

Oh, Joyce, as I reminisce,
I realize time is my nemesis.
So with increased emphasis,
I lift my voice and sing this refrain:

Oh, Joyce,
loving you was one of my life's greatest joys!
How I wish you'd became my wife!
Now wouldn't it be a novel twist
for you to change your name... to Joyce James?

Sincerely, Robert James

B.J. (2-14-2015)

Note: I wrote this for a friend
who is desirous of rekindling
an old flame for Valentine's Day.
