We met as children long ago. <br />I can't recall the day. <br />I was too young to notice then, <br />It must have been at play. <br /> <br />It's funny how it came to be. <br />Unnatural, I guess. <br />God must have just got up one day <br />In search of souls to bless. <br /> <br />He surely found us oh so young, <br />But I guess, just in time; <br />For us to start our journey off <br />With friendship so sublime. <br /> <br />Soon it made a love affair <br />Just as we came of age. <br />Your diary expressed it well, <br />My name on every page. <br /> <br />As we came of age we vowed <br />To wed forever more. <br />Who knew we'd ever live so long <br />Or what life had in store. <br /> <br />We had three kids and lost but one, <br />The sadness of our life. <br />I guess we had the best of things, <br />Without much pain or strife. <br /> <br />And as our children moved away, <br />We did then as we should. <br />We spent our time in doing things <br />We always wished we could. <br /> <br />The time just seemed to pass away <br />Almost before we knew. <br />But all I know is what there was, <br />I spent in loving you. <br /> <br />I know you did as well my love, <br />It showed in many ways; <br />The way you always touched my arm <br />And held your loving gaze. <br /> <br />Yes, it's funny how it came to be, <br />And how it is somehow. <br />We never have done things alone. <br />At least, until right now. <br /> <br />We've been as one so very long, <br />How can we be apart? <br />And how will it continue on, <br />The beating of my heart? <br /> <br />I hope that God may soon arise <br />As He did once before. <br />And bless our souls just one last time <br />By calling home one more.<br /><br />GREENWOLFE 1962<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/blessed-love-4/
