For Talia

The lady that I cherish is enamored of a fool
A fool who lacks the wish, to speak his mind
A fool who often wears a mask, indifferent and cool
A fool who's often selfish, dense and blind

The lady that I cherish is enamored of a fool
A fool too often wrapped in others cares
Forgetting that is single mindedness is wrong and cruel
To lock her out her gladly troubled shares

The lady that I cherish is enamored of a fool
Who sometimes does not value what he holds
Until his loneliness comfirms for time his heart should rule
And the comfort of her love around him folds

But though he must have hurt her, without ever meaning to
Her temper never breaks and never frighns
And she forgives whatever careless things that he may do
And loves him despite his thoughtless ways

She only smiles and says that there is nothing to forgive
And I thank God that she does so for you see
I fear without her love and care this poor fool could not live
The fool she loves and cherishes is me
The fool she loves and cherishes is me
