Poem written for my wife that passed away many years ago.
We can be romantic girls, you know we can!


I Love You Like

I love you like I love
memories of the peaceful times.
Like sunny days and lemonade
secret gifts that Grandma gave,
cotton candy and ferris wheels
time alone when dreams seem real.

I love you like I love
morning dew on fields of grain
dawning sun through window panes,
cool clear lakes and boating trips
mother's favourite Sunday dish.

I love you like I love
delicate taste of the finest wine.
Like the laughing thrill of bumper cars
sleeping out under the stars,
singing songs on New Years eve
listening to the roaring sea.

I love you like I love
walking in a misty rain
the lonely call of a distant train,
the warming rush of London Gin
the fire's glow when we're snowed in.

I love you like I love
the mystic call of a morning Loon.
And whisper talk on winds that moan
fire flies that chirp and glow,
roosters posed on weathervanes
Autumn leaves on country lanes.

I love you like I love
family days at county fairs
circus clowns with crazy hair,
budding trees in early spring
the bubbling talk of mountain streams.

I love you for the quiet way you steal my day
and the love we share I can't explain.

Eric

Yes, DS we were a result of wanting to keep the love alive....So, as I have mentioned before we were two very good forgivers.
Many thanks for the reply my friend.

Got on your feminine a little heavy, eh, Eric?

Nice work.
