eternal love

what a love we have
oh when we were young
flowers in your hair
petals dropping all around us
...I remember then

days of squealing laughs
dancing through the forest floor
eyes wide, filled of dreams
our hands were held together
...can you still feel it?

every day, a perfect day
tears of joy are all we cry
our faces, shown so bright
even in the moonlight
...do you remember?

how innocent is our love
good times we always shared
your smiling face held me
I wrapped my arms around you
...I would not let go

so you married me
I carried you away
then came our baby girl
with green eyes and freckles
...seems like yesterday

now our kids are grown
again we're on our own
bright flowers in the yard
drinking in the sunshine
...your eyes still glowing

til the day you died
and you went away
but I am not alone
your memory sits beside me
...how I love you

oh, how I love you...

Hi, hedistuff,
Endearing love, enduring love, eternal love...petals dropping all around us... dancing through the forest floor / eyes wide. Thank you for sharing this truly tender verse.

oh how we love love..
too often it has escaped us
only recognizing it in our past
painting rosy nostalgic pictures
but the feeling still fills us
should we be lucky
