To Oliver, with respect

“And if dreams were eagles, I would fly

But they ain’t and that’s the reason why…”

Seven flints got hammered into arrows

Seven twigs were crafted into bows

And for each of seven eyes that narrowed

There are seven more that overflowed

Seven letters don’t complete the sentence

Seven words are made into a spell

Seven sins are crying for repentance

Seven drops have overflowed the well

Seven feet stepped on the seven flowers

Seven lives broke into seven parts

Seven seconds felt like seven hours

Seven cupids missed the seven hearts

“Seven tears have flown into the river

Seven tears are runnin' to the sea

If one day they reach some distant waters

Then you'll know

It's sent with love from me”
