If Time Stood Still
By Paul Wilson


If all the stars in the sky lost their glow
If the man in the moon had nowhere to go
If all the rivers suddenly ran dry
If I lost you today how many tears would I cry

If the hands of time moved no more
If the past was locked away behind a door
If loved ones we know no longer knew us
If your tender kisses were replaced by mistrust

I remember the first time we met
Your tender smile I will never forget
My heart found love that night
Somehow both of us knew it was right

Tomorrows dreams will have to wait
A lifetime shared together this our fate
Darling you made my life complete
Till this day your kisses are so sweet

If the Sun shall rise no more
I will be waiting on a distant shore
Waiting for you to join me once more
Remembering all the love we shared before

If ever fate brings you back to me
If tomorrow finds us happy and carefree
If the stars in the sky glow endlessly
If the man in the moon resumes his journey

Our favorite song still playing in my head
Visions appear of the day we wed
The life we shared so special to me
I will always love you Molly

You’re  speaking to and of my heart.  Every word every single sentiment says it all and so much more.  Your poem runs way deep and brings tears to my eyes.  Pure perfection,  good poet.

Brought tears to my eyes too. Paul.  What a beautiful love, cradling such perfectly painted bittersweet memories!  Yes, if time stood still is an exquisite thought, but, in the bigger picture, we would stagnate . . . in joy that could not increase, in sorrow that would not have its sharp edges rounded, in wounds that would not heal, in souls that would turn to stone.
