| Darling....... The hesitation in your step makes my heart ache, Knowing that you're wondering, hoping, Is the the last home? Will I have to move again? How will she know who I am? Beautiful...... I see your history in your eyes And in those small quirks, In your startles and starts. Oh, I know I'll never know The whole story of you, but Together we can patch things up, heal old wounds and soothe old fears. Beloved....... I respect your years, and I promise You will grow old with me. In comfort, in love, in safety. And when I see your years are done, I will see you through your passing, and keep you close in my arms. And in my heart....... You will live forever! T. Nesbit |
