A Love Fulfilled

A bright breeze rustled the cottonwoods
Whilst passerines sang and flew
Beneath the woolly like clouds.

What was love? A hush of dawn?
A breath between raindrops?
The soft rumble of a waterfall?

No, no, it was something much more.
It was a song vibrating amongst the pines
It was an echo I cannot forget in this life.

Betty, Betty, a thunderous steady call.
My dear, my sweetheart, an affable echo,
That I heard all around the thick forest.

She walked in thick boots through the snow.
Carrying snowdrops, those I love so much
Do you really love me so?  Always a tease.

We hugged and kissed and danced
Upon the cold chilly snow of yesterday.
And as sunset approached, we retired
To our cottage and partook a hearty meal.

A very beautiful memory so lovingly shared, Dear Victor. I’m happy memories are coming back clear & am very sure Betty feels the same. She sounds like she was a wonderful companion. You might want to insert the ‘r’ in (retied) to ensure perfection. God bless. X.

Thank you for the correction. Betty is a ficticious name. My wife was named Lilian.
