To be like them who all would envy <br />To know a love that snared two hearts <br />To feel that love while in their presence <br />To wonder how such true love starts <br /> <br />To hear it in in their conversation <br />To catch it when their voices rise <br />To see it in her softest gesture <br />and in the twinkle of his eyes <br /> <br />To see them slowly walk together <br />To see him reach out for her hand <br />A habit born from years of caring <br />Is more than most can understand <br /> <br />To see two lives so wrapped together <br />Two hearts merged and so aligned <br />Where thoughts are shared before they're spoken <br />When mind and soul are intertwined <br /> <br />To watch them look upon each other <br />and know they see beyond the years <br />They see with eyes of two young lovers <br />Filled with the joy of lovers tears <br /> <br />All wonder where such true love started <br />Not coincidence, but sacrifice <br />God was there in their chance meeting <br />When two would choose to pay one price <br /> <br />Behind this love is certain knowledge <br />True love only can be won <br />When there's unconditional surrender <br />To give all for the other one.<br /><br />Perry Biggerstaff<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/growing-old-together-8/
