Love In An Old Mans Heart
What is love in an old mans heart?
Is it that gentle escape in days of youth?
Or is it born of us from our very start?
When eyes lock together in times knowing embrace.
When without a word fitly spoken even still love knows this place.
Even after twenty two years of sharing the depths of your heart and soul.
Your inner man rejoices for true love never stops, but always grows.
Though in this life, we may be physically removed from loves warm embrace.
We shall always know in our hearts and minds; we shall always savor loves sweet taste.
For I remember coming home after a days work, oh I remember seeing your eyes,
I even recall after all these years the giddiness my spirit felt each time.
They say that through time the feelings of my hurt and pain will slowly subside.
Yet it seems I miss you more with each passing day… for together our spirits still abide.
So what is love in this old mans heart?
It is knowing you; it is the culmination of our life;
It is by the GRACE OF GOD that I was able to call you my wife.

True Love, is Truly Eternal, my friend.
(((HUGS))) and much love (and continued prayer), your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :)
The ending line says it all, beautifully, perfectly: you were indeed blessed, ARE blessed, to have known the love of Leah. She's still with you, you know: maybe not physically, but in every word you pen, every breath you take, every prayer you whisper. :) Well done!
(((HUGS))) love and prayer, Karla.
