Once upon a love my dear, had fallen by the side <br />Then, dear God returned to me, my love again be tried <br /> <br />Dark and dismal place am I, though sun is shining high <br />While life is bustling all around, my soul tells heart don't cry <br /> <br />From my request so long ago, the one you then abhorred <br />That thing from you I wait expressed, resounding yes implored <br /> <br />These feelings held for you my love, grow stronger every day <br />How can you not feel anything, there seems to be no way <br /> <br />Thoughts of you run wild and free, like sand that's moved by sea <br />Your, love lights the path I seek, and soul demands of me <br /> <br />Once upon a love my dear, this story now retold <br />Please consider this my dear, my love to have and hold<br /><br />Daniel Lloyd Kennedy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-love-to-have-and-hold/
