My Treasure
When I met you for the first time, I didn’t know,
across the winters and springs of yearning years
into a fast friendship the encounter would grow,
that would endure amid medley of smile and tear.
We paced the dulcet garden path paved with desire,
sensed fervent flower called love bloom in our heart,
where the butterfly of longing flew on patina of fire,
promising us with its flair nothing would set us apart.
As our entwined footprints fade in the trail of the past,
you walk by my side as my treasured friend, I adore.
While the twilight tinge of the spent sun wanes fast,
I know you’re the precious gift, God couldn’t give more.
In my meandering journey in sunshine and mist of life,
I’m not forlorn for my Valentine is with me as my wife.
