who steals the hearts with rosy smiles,
can turn old ones in naughty juveniles,
one who swims like a pretty mermaid,
lo my bills of love always prepaid,
one who loves not only the humans,
Jews, Hindus, Muslims, Christians,
birds and beasts, animals and insects,
with a lovely virus whole world infects,
is never confined in a single belief,
so much universal is the lovely thief,
a lovely clad soul in the skin’s salt,
a poem of love and a work of art,
one who hates, from my side ducked,
anyone who loves is my beloved.
In a Claddagh Ring her heart described,
Love, loyalty, friendship inscribed,
(Claddagh Ring is an Irish ring. DECEMBER Birthstone Silver Claddagh Ring, inscribed with ‘Love Loyalty Friendship’)
