From Where I Stand

From Where I Stand (A take on Romeo and Juliet) The fates of time were too unkind You left the little girl behind Too long the passage time cannot heal We play the cards the gods do deal Yet still you are so young and beautiful And I love you so, your lips of cherry wine Your eyes that doth shine Shame the stars that glow If sleight of hand or trick of sight Could have brought their love to light, So many long years ago Into the river of love they’d flow The water’s pure would take our love Then reflect on these years we didn’t share Worth the wait you’re everything I adore So take this heart I offer to you Their minds and hearts entwined as one To finish what their love begun To dance the dance that lovers do You with me and I with you. Fate did find, eyes and arms satisfied With your angelic smile your gentle touch Your kiss so tenderly I plea, never set me free, And you’ll forever be young and beautiful to me! © Harry J Horsman © Mandy Tams 2016 Copyright © 2016 harry horsman
