To a Ghost of a Rose

Another time and place we said ‘I do’, The word love meant forever you and me, Eternal destiny came into view, Only in my arms could you ever be, Only in your kiss could I fly so free. A promise made and shared throughout all time, Yet we knew the coming of pain and strife, And all too soon another ritual rhyme, My pathway home is the journey of life, Until the day I see my darling wife.
