Love Forever and Always Mary — Ruth Brown

This book of poems I have written for you. I never knew these words were locked up inside of me, just trying to get out. Then one day a man befriended me. I will just call him Sweet Billy; he knows who he is. He opened up this world of poetry to me. Poems of love he sent to me. Oh how powerful the words seemed to be. My messages to him seemed to be in poems. He opened up a door within me and all the words came pouring out. They must have been there all along. I wonder why it came so late in life. Only God knows when the time is right. My Sweet Billy, what a wonderful gift you have given to me. I will always be grateful to you. My love will be with you forever and always.
