Old Love

Old Love

When first we met, that fateful day
Down on the farm, while making hay
I did not love you, no... not yet
That fateful day when first we met

With our first kiss my doubts all flew
I knew my heart belonged to you
In your strong arms I found sweet bliss
My doubts all flew with our first kiss.

For always now our life to share.
Forsake all others, be a pair.
We tied the knot, and took a vow
Our life to share for always now.

Still side by side as years move on,
Although the spark of youth has gone
The glow of love, it never died.
As years move on still side by side.

A seemly very hard form to be done so well. I have not tried one yet. Thank you for your kind comments. Charles

They say youth is wasted on the young, Margaret. At least love is most appreciated by those who have lived long enough to realize how lucky they are. Great poem! Love, Carolyn
