Evening walk in Brussels

Strictly business

This trip to Brussels was all about business. Long meetings until late in the evenings made it hard to see much more than meetingrooms and my hotelroom. I was fortunate to stay at a very nice hotel which made the trip a treat despite all the hard work.

Truly yours

Truly yours

`Tis many years since we first met,

When youth was in it´s prime;

You´ve made my life a joy to me, -

One long sweet summertime.

Our friendship ripened into love;

My heart but you adores,

And day or night I love but you,

I still am - "truly yours."

Believe me when I tell you true,

Love cannot close its doors,

So long as you are true to me,

And I am "truly yours."

When other lips breathe words of love

And make some promise true,

Then like some swift-wing´d messenger,

My love flies back to you.

Then am I happy, for I feel

Love crushes hearts by scores,

And leaves yours loving noe but me,

While I am - "truly yours."

Though time in its untiring flight,

Teach others to forget,

There´s one whose heart you taught to love,

Who fondly loves you yet.

Though I be sitting by your side,

Or off on foreign shores,

Morn, noon, or night, afar or near,

I still am - "truly yours."

William Shakespeare Hays
