For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1:8, KJV)
To my fiance, Marla Tolly, Valentines Day 1986
The Greeks don’t love with all their heart,
They use a different body part.
They love with liver, kidney, spleen
(To me it sounds a bit obscene).
But dear, when you’re not here with me
I understand their misery:
A pain that simply drives me nuts
Way down deep inside my guts.
Even when you’re very near
The symptoms seldom disappear!
Though I’m no Greek, I know it’s true:
With all my innards I love you!
