Ode to Gabrielle
by Heruda
My sweet Gabrielle
Mighty queen of the Amazons
I cherish the day you came into my life
How could I have known you would change my life so I have learned so much from you
And I have grown as a person because of you We have been through so much Pain, heartaches, defeats, anger, death
Yet you still keep pushing forward
And pulling me along with you
Oh wonderous bard
Whose words have lightened my heart so many times You keep me laughing with your stories
You make me cry with them as well
My sweet Gabrielle
Whose hair is as golden as the sun
And eyes the color of the trees
Your smile can make the most dreary of days go away I have thanked the gods everyday
For having sent you my way
My sweet Gabrielle
What would I do if I should lose you some day
