She looks at me
Head tilted to one side
I take her photo
Somewhere Tentsmuir side
I hold the camera
But she is clocking me
That tilted head
O how she could see!
Was the beginning
Of our long romance
We lost souls who met
So much by chance
A phone call and a meeting
A walk beside the sea
A synod meeting surely
Complete serenity
It’s good to live our lives
Beneath a gentle gaze
To know that someone loves us
And our foibles do not faze
The eyes of God are on us now
From him we cannot hide
But do not worry all is well
His head’s tilted to one side
