                          Why I Love
                                      By Philip Barkow

             I love you for the beauty of your face
              I love you for your quickness of wit
                I love you for your tender mercy
            I love you for your certainty of opinion
             I love you for your appreciation of art
             I love you for the beauty of your voice
             I love you for your steadiness of hand
               I love you for your skill at melody
        I love you for your understanding of my troubles
             I love you for your great intelligence
But most of all I love you for that part of you which I'm proud
                             to say is a lot like me.
