The countless uneventful years had passed in slow motion. <br /> Then one warm September morn they met. <br /> Two unhappy people who hungrily longed for affection. <br /> Affection long denied, but which they could not forget. <br /> <br /> Many days became many weeks and turned to years. <br /> These two began to see in each other a chance for happiness. <br /> Happiness turning to precious love, but haunted by fears <br /> Instilled by the years of bondage and sadness. <br /> <br /> Then on a sparkling day in mid June <br /> These two desperate souls - long denied fulfillment; <br /> As the mourning dove sang its sorrowful tune, <br /> Under a majestic oak, finally found contentment.<br /><br />Dorothy Hinds Davis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fulfillment-4/
