Purest Gold
When elements are melted down, it is something to behold
A careful blend, a touch, a spark, can form the purest gold
Mixed to blend by careful hands, some miracles unfold
When halves are meant to fit as one, they form a heart that's whole
I knew them well, from different worlds, they were meant to be as one
He came to her, from a distant star, and she became his shining sun
Strangers they had one time been, but love brought them together
He had never been a father, but, four children called her Mother
He brought along a gentle love, and was sure enough to give it
She brought along a crazy life, and taught him how to live it!
The day arrived, when they would wed, excitement filled the air
On the fifth Yule day, they said their vows, and end to end were there......
The children, four, came through the door, to crowd the alter floor
He pulled 5 rings, a diamond gleamed, upon her finger worn
And 4 small rings, upon 4 chains, around their necks, he swore
to honor them, and make them whole, and give the love he bore
When elements are melted down, it is something to behold
Some hearts are meant to fill the dark, and shine as purest gold
5 Yuletide Days, 5 gifts he gave,.... 5 times the love, ...and more
