Story Song

If I could write a story song
          Our loves’ beginning, told in time
In beautiful, eventful words
                Perhaps a Sonnet of a rhyme

If I could write of younger days
                   Of unexpected rendezvous 
Of fate’s design or destiny
             I’d write of how I first met you

There’d be no Taxis, Chances Are
        No Auld Lang Synes, no Lyin’ Eyes
There only would be tears of joy
    For having lived love’s sweet surprise

If I could write a story song
          Then every word could fill a page
For love needs only thought to live
      And thought defies all time and age

And so my story would portray
       The fortune of love’s wondrous gift
Of one remembered summer night
    Of wandered hearts, no more to drift

A song to sing. Very emotional and flowing. I like the repetitive words of "If I could write". Lovely poem.
