Notes About The Poem

A poem for a picture - Written 9th March 2024

       

Reflections of Love

Now we have reached the winter of our lives
It’s good to look through memory archives 
Reliving precious moments we have shared
Since the magical day that we were paired.

Glorious sentimental days of yore
When fate and the world was ours to explore
Of the day our hopes and wishes came true
The beguiling day we both said “I do.”

It was enchanting sharing our love nest
Again when with family we were blessed 
The love, heartaches, but the best of all
Was our fledglings growing up to enthral.

I still envision you in dreams I dream
The sweetest girl that I have ever seen 
Ending our lives together is pleasure
For you dear wife are my world, my treasure.

Reflections of love flood my heart with joy
A joy that no one could ever destroy.
