Rebecca (poem)
Rebecca was my meaning for the day
Rebecca held my heart within her hand
And all I was laid under her command
Rebecca was where all my thoughts would play
-
Each morning saw me waking at her side
And in the night beside her I would fade
My world with her was one I wouldn’t trade
A world where all my problems would subside
-
Rebecca was the answer to my prayer
Though others often pointed out her chinks
I laughed proclaiming all their warnings junk
-
Yet in the dark hid truth I came to bear
Rebecca was the name I gave to drinks
And by her side I soon became a drunk
