Sonnet I : Estonia

Estonia

Estonia, my love blossoms for you,
Like flowers and roses in spring time bloom,
There is nothing left that I cannot do
You make me smile and bring song to the room

The songs stop my sleep; awaken from rest
The melodies do softly sing me blind
Because Elvis Presley said it the best,
Cause baby, "you are always on my mind."

Yet, these hymns only remind me of you
The empty, somber voids these do not fill
Seeing your face has been long overdue
And the lack of it makes me deeply ill

Ma belle, mi amor, to you this I say,
I thank God cause you brighten up my day
