True love

Busy in the waiting room

I observed an elderly gent

He passed about and viewed the time

I could see time not well spent

I beckoned him to the office of mine

Saying I notice you observe the time

Yes he said with sweet sad smile

At the rest home it’s tea time

Who is the one that waits for you?

Will they be upset if you are late?

No he said, five years she’s been

In her current state

Her mind is gone, she knows me not

But I remember her

The life we led the love we share

Hoping glimmers will occur

She is my love, my life you see

A promise I did take

From moments first wee tender kiss

Through rough times we dismissed

Our vows of love were made

She will always be my flower

My morning’s gentle breeze

The one I carried in sickness

And her the same to me

Not once will I ever leave her

Not here and after time

When God takes her to his kingdom

My Rose to all will shine

So you see my doctor friend

Tarry I should not

For every moments gift with her

Is one not wished for loss

She is my special Angel

I cherish her you see

Our love will be forever

Even not if she know me

He left my office slowly

You could see that he was tired

But tears did well up in my eyes

True love was never finer
