We share these loves, my friend and I:
Bubbling brooks, a pink and blue sky,
Delicate mists, soft winds that sing,
Fragile snowflakes, violets in spring.
We share these loves, my friend and I:
Ruffled curtains, a latticed pie,
Flower-filled vases, cozy nooks,
An open fire, rows of books.
We share these loves, my friend and I:
Happy thoughts, aims that are high,
The warmth of friendship,
Pleasure in giving,
Faith in God, and real joy in living.
