My beloved Diane, blessed with beauty,
brains and grace that cause grown men's hearts to beat,
skip and race. With her many attributes, gifts and talents,
she has never once seeked fortune nor fame, remaining ever humble,
for, ego is not in her game.
Never naughty, never bold, possessing a heart of pure gold.
ever ready and willing to assist the needy the young and the old.
Pure of mind, body,spirit and soul and a warm heart that never runs cold.
Whose compassion for the sick and needy cannot be purchased,
bought or sold.
For, you see, she is the author of the book of love,
and her ideals and humanity are as pristine,
pure and as white as the driven snow and dove of peace,
so, as you read each chapter and verse
we will better learn and understand
how to better dialogue and converse with each other
For, Diane, you have taught us all the fine art of compassion and respect
for our fellow human beings and how to treat one another with love
when it comes to push and shove.
For, My beloved Diane,
you will ever remain,
my one and only true love."
