China girl ( Ottava Rima)

China girl ( Ottava Rima)

Little gifts that she sends to me
Pictures of a proud young woman
two sweet little boys on her knee
Songs of lost love, not overdone
but graceful like a reverie
Poems of new hope, a rising sun
Humbled, thankful to God for you
Sweet China girl, I love you too

A dedication to my sweet girlfriend Lin from China.
So thankful for all she is willing to share with me.
