BY MY LOYAL BELOVED SHALL I ALWAYS BE (Written by Daphne John for Naveed when "Those Were The Days"

When the cold mountain breeze blew

More than often in the months of spring

Her rosy cheeks and her silky black hair

Added more to her golden ear-rings.

Rebecca or Becky as she was known

Was fascinated by no youthful lad

But even she slipped and fell for my love:

The brilliant and amiable Naveed!

Becky and Laz were my best of friends

But Naveed had his eyes and heart for me

That is why I kept swearing to God

By my loyal beloved shall I always be.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Hi! This is Laz Al Baik again posting yet one more poem written by Naveed's first love Daphne John long long ago...when we were young...I found it in one of my school note books. Beautiful sentiments expressed so compellingly! -- LAZ AL BAIK.
