May those who
love us, love us
And those that
don't love us,
May God turn
their hearts;
And if He doesn't
turn their hearts
May He turn
their ankles
So we'll know them
by their limping

I like your poem. Brought a smile to the face...and by the way...I gave my poem to that girl. =]

Oops, it's not my poem, I stole it. Suppose I should have said "author unknown." Oh well, I'm glad you gave her the poem. Go on, tell us all did she really, really love it?

Aaah, you weren't able to read it to her? No matter, I'm sure she'll cherish it. (I know I would)

You're too kind...I would have loved to give it to her on paper in person, maybe written in some nice script, but hey, I'll do what I can. It never hurts to be impressive, right?

For me, the words are what is important, not the way in which they were delivered. You did good.
