REPLETE WITH LOVE

Oh you said it so tenderly

Perhaps to ease my yearn

But as I heard you say it

My heart did miss a turn

I spoke of falling in love

With your city, albeit meant you

You responded that it had

Surely loved me in return too

Dreams lie in wait as I see

Those lanes and scrapers tall

Breathe in the fresh air again

And see again those magical falls

Feet laden with pain now fly

And I hear again music sweet

My friend how did this happen
