By The Lee Poem by Jack Kennedy

' Emily said she loved me '...me!
The wind heard her whisper thus...

Take heed, you unbelievers in reality
You naysayers in the magic of a buss.

Old and forgetful we may possibly be,
But this smoldering heart made a fuss

When the wind whispered with glee,
That 'Emily said she loved me'

Those longed for words from Emily's lips
that she bravely uttered by the Lee,
a breeze... discretely shared with me.

The wind leaned in and listened
as I whispered so politely. Tell Emily,
'I do not take her love lightly '
