I watched you quietly from behind sheer drapes,
Your white dress gently blowing in the wind,
Our three young children ran around your legs,
As you hung washed linen in the new spring wind.
❖
I thought of when we first did meet,
A flower in your hair,
The night we danced the Tennessee Waltz,
Beneath His stars without a care.
❖
Your smile was alluring your eyes so bright,
Your hair smelled of a warm summer night,
Your heartbeat as thunder inside your chest,
In arms, I did hold my one loves quest.
❖
Soon we did marry and my day stood still,
As you now a part of my soul,
Became my reason for living this life,
In a world where your heart I hold.
❖
Now years have passed since we danced the waltz,
And I watched you from afar,
Your beauty still reminds my spirit,
Of when then young you stole my heart.
Johnny – Ahh…to know love that grows stronger with each passing day is a blessing beyond compare. Thanks for this beautiful poem.
Yes it is my friend. And if you truly find it nothing else, except He who graced you with it, matters.
Well, Johnny, you just might have a little preacher in you. Amen.
Johnny, this is so beautiful! I’m sharing it on my LinkedIn feed.
Absolutely Beautiful my dear friend. Love is a better love when shared.
