Flitter Me By  (Ballad)
© 2004-2014 Marvin E. Fuller

		My dear, my dear, flitter me by, flutter me by.
		Moon bright, stars shine in the night sky.
		Steal my heart, book of my soul.
		Each page unturned takes its toll.

		Thy paws, so soft; thy claws, so sharp,
		Thy voice, such a heavenly harp.
		Thy scent, a perfume fit for the elite,
		Thine eyes, limpid pools so sweet.

		My dear, my dear, flitter me by, flutter me by.
		Moon bright, stars shine in the night sky.
		My heart yearns to return to thee,
		Soaring high but never again free.

		Thy soul's beauty shines brightly,
		Great as the stars glowing nightly.
		The shadow of my life is dispelled,
		Lit anew far from the darkness felled.

		My dear, my dear, flitter me by, flutter me by.
		Moon bright, stars shine in the night sky.
		My soul and heart shall forever glow,
		A river of tears nevermore shall flow.
