I wrote this poem of a sweet lass I knew many years ago, in a different time.

Sweet Bonnie, Bonnie lass

She is walking through the grass

With the wind blowing in her hair,

She is looking for the man

She calls her own and take his hand

But sadly, he is never ever there,

As she is heading back home

And again she is all alone

As again GOD had ignored her thoughts,

But sadly no one does care

What she is doing over there

As she’ll never find, what she had sought.

Sweet Bonnie, Bonnie lass

Whom I had just past

As I shied away from happily,

I have known of her before

As she had knocked upon my door

But now the door is shut and I am free,

As it was not that long ago

When she filled my heart with woe

Then threw my heart and life away,

As she smiled as though she cared

But never worried how I had faired

And goodbye to me she never did say.

Sweet Bonnie, Bonnie Lass

Love for you it never did last

And your hopes and dreams are now all gone,

Someday though you will get old

And you will be standing all alone

As you will be walking upon your lawn,

You will be seeking someone new

So you can say again, I love you

As your walking down life’s final path,

But no one will ever be there

As the winds blows though your hair

My Sweet Bonnie, Bonnie Lass.
