A love poem for my wonderful wife

A plea to Aphrodite

to the greatest love of my life

a woman I met in France

who joined me in Aosta as my wife

you led me on a wonderful dance

—-—-—-—-

who shares with me a wonderful daughter

I hope that we can raise this love again

On Aphrodite I exhort her

A bring my lover back rephrain

—-—-—-—-

when I die I want you by my side

I want to hold your hand as I slip away

As my life ebbs away with the tide

The last thing I heard would be what you say

—-—-—-—-

But before that I want to walk on the beach

I want to discuss with you our deepest thoughts

I want you to be in my reach

To travel together to French ports
