Still the One

Her first taste of romance was a slow dance in the park Stars and fireflies joined the moon and pushed away the dark Things that had been dull before took on a brand new shine A man she had not known before now became just "mine" Laughter now came easily a trait she'd never known Then she lost the inborn need - the need to be alone She could see the sunset hues and name them all in turn Then understand it was love that made the candle burn Now some forty years have passed when comes the morning sun She smiles at his wrinkled face and knows he's still the one 9-2-18 For Michelle Faulkner's contest Still The One
