Joyce Johnson Poet Rhyme

Love Held Me

There was a time love held me close
And whispered in my ears,
Love strong enough to keep me warm
Through winter of my years.
A love so dear it paid the price
For sorrows yet to be.
So precious that I've locked it tight
Deep in my memory.

For Catie's Love Notes contest  10th place
