    Here's To The Woman...
    Here's to the woman
    I have found, I have lost
    No matter what's been said
    Some borders can't be crossed

    That is what she taught me
    Though I tried not to learn
    I don't see invisible lines
    Only life on earth

    But here's to the woman
    I have found, I have lost
    May the stars align for you
    At not too great a cost

    Though I won't forget you
    I sense that you will fly
    Actions speak a thousand words
    You're telling me, 'Goodbye'

    So, here's to the woman
    The one who caught my eye
    Here's to the memories
    I'll hold until I die

    May the stars align for you
    At not too great a cost
    Here's to the woman
    I have found
    I have
    lost

    I dated this girl from Mexico for a short while. Everytime we would be out and come across some Mexican guys they would give me/us dirty looks. Even the ones who were with white girls! I didn't understand it then, and I don't understand it now. It didn't bother me as much as it did her. I still hope the best for her. She was a sweet girl, and it was fun while it lasted.

    Poetry is what is lost in translation.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
