Tim Smith Poet Free verse

After All These Years

rest your head my love

in my caring and comforting arms

we will swing 

on this rustic faded yellow porch

under the pink and orange and red hues

of the setting sun silhouetting 

the streaking clouds over the horizon

let me gaze into those loving eyes

so soft and sweet reflecting your beauty

like caramel being wrapped around an apple

I can hear music coming from inside the old farmhouse

It is our favourite song.

 The one we chose for our first dance

at our wedding

Oh how I remember that day

you were so beautiful

you were radiant

we danced oh we danced

arm in arm

cheek to cheek

you made my knees go weak

it was so beautiful

Oh how you are still so beautiful

after all these years

come dance my love
