Notes About The Poem

 

On 20th of October 2002, Roper & I were married for the second time in the Catholic Church. 20th wedding anniversary today.

 

Listen to poem:

Never To Have Grown Up Never To Have Grown Old

Nestled in each other embrace, 
They slow dance to a song that they'd heard
So many times before, it always sets a spark.
No more talk, just romance fire within.

Standing so close looking in each other's eyes,
Pouring their hearts under the tempo swirls. 
Falling in love again, as he spins her round 
And round, not to miss stealing a kiss.

Nestled deep in each other embrace, 
Reminiscing of their youth. 
They had built their world around each other 
As he strokes her silver hair 
Starting her heart to beat fast while they danced.

Time's eyes twinkled kindly towards their fate. 
Waking up next to each other, 
Loving nobody, but each other. 
Spending many years, 
Never to have grown up, 
Never having to grown old.

Ah, this poem makes me cry tears of joy and sorrow, you two had a special bond blessed by Angels. One that no one can severe, one day you will be in his arms again, home in his heart where you belong and always will. Until then, we need you here with us, to give us poetry such as this, Longing for a trip to tell you, I love you xo

I can understand the solace they find in each other. A poem of emotions.
