'My own precious darling, I need you tonight <br />This love is a never-ending story! <br />Wonderful Bonnie, with beauty and grace <br />I love you ~ my own Bonnie Laurie <br />And I pray - all your love is for me. <br /> <br />Bright shining stars set your blue eyes aglow <br />I am lost in the light of love's glory. <br />But with early dawn, I will be gone <br />Away from my sweet Bonnie Laurie. <br />The cry of the battle is beckoning me. <br /> <br />Across the wild moor, down to the shore <br />The big ship will wait graciously; <br />O yes I must go. But surely you know <br />I'll return Bonnie Laurie to thee. <br />Dear precious angel, please trust in me.' <br /> <br /> <br />9th October, National Poetry Day.<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/he-whispers-to-bonnie/
