TO "DONNA"...WITH THANKS TO THOMAS GRAY

"Large was his bounty and his soul sincere
And Heaven did a recompense as largely send
He gave to misery (It was all he had) a tear
He gained from Heaven (It was all he wanted) a friend."
        -- Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard by Thomas Gray.

A true soul
Can want nothing more
And so is my sweet "Donna".
Our friendship
Is Allah's blessing
Like Gray I too sought a friend
Who would know
How to be loyal
And be there for only me.
She is true
And staunch and strong
And we know each other truly.
