Love of My Life

Still small hours Morning delights; Breath of fresh air A touch stirs I awake to awareness: A fond embrace Joy in your eyes Touch beyond time; Rapture in a moment What a blessing To be aware of love: Lovely eyes follow Joy is feeling Belonging and giving; Sparkle at love's altar Each day a gift Of love and loving; Laughter in your eyes Thank you dear Ann: Love of my life Laughter of my days So many years Signposts and raptures; Four decades two-gather Class of '75 Seemed just a flash; Hindsight feels nostalgia Life's a short summer We're mere flowers; Love lives forever So here we go Hand in hand; One whole in twin hearts Leon Enriquez 22 Feb 2014 Singapore

Dear Nette: I wrote this as a morning surprise for my darling. Glad it touched you as well. Yes, like wine, human love does mellow with time. Forty years ago, she asked me: "Do you think love lasts?" And I said: " Ours will." And then, it was all work and magic! Ha-ha-ha! Thanks for the comments. Leon
