Off Her Feet, Into His Arms

She cooks, she sews
    a relic of the past
  the way the world goes

  A dimple in her cheek
    brave hope holed up in her heart
  that one knight in shining armor
    can still do his part

  to sweep her off her feet
    and into his arms
  where he will bask forever
    in her winsome charms

Mind you my prince did come along , we are now married 22 years, we should have got married 24 years ago when we first met and went out together for a year and then drifted apart, but we sinfully always thought of each other, so guess longing is akin to dreaming and dreams can come true. Hugs Jen.

And she might wait forever, and on her deathbed, wish she hadn't for it was all but a dream. From a realist, Hugs, Jennifer.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! You're right. I lose two or three a year (in a bad year, anyway).

This poem reminds me of the fairy princes and princesses of old folklores. Lovely description Gershon. Have a Merry Christmas, dear friend

You've described precisely what I've written -- a throwback. ~ Rejected and Dejected (Not really. It's a good throwback!)

Ahhh!! What a romantic work. I think that it is a mostly true today that our young women can't do many domestic things. I guess the men need to learn to do some of them. Thanks for sharing this one and for dropping by my page. Sara

One can dream, true. One can get married, also true. Can one continue to do both? -- Hmmmmmmmmmm.
