In my lifetime of almost sixty years <br />I have written over a thousand or more poems <br />And not one of them can come close <br />In describing the love for me that you have shown <br />For with every smile and every sigh <br />You have given me your most precious gift of joy <br />It is because of you that this old man <br />Still feels like that young and innocent boy <br />Stealing his first kiss from the girl who stole his heart <br />And praying that every moment he has left on earth <br />His love and he will never be apart <br />And that is why I say… my love is like a poem <br />That I have yet to write… <br /> <br /> <br />2007 © T Sheridan<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-poem-that-i-have-yet-to-write/
