Come and ride away with me my Lady
Let us forget the moment and enjoy
What God hath placed before us this day
Each other.. like a child with a new toy

Our love shall grow and grow
As we come together this day
But when we are old and gray
May our love be as strong..I pray

In the twilight of our lives
May our memories be  strong
As they were in years past
Forever young in our minds may they belong

Our skin my grow wrinkled and pale
Our bodies not as young and free
But the eyes will never dim
A burning fire inside will there always be

Upon my death my love
Do not cry for me
For I am here with you each day
Remember me..for how..I loved thee

WOW!
This is absolutely wonderful.

Special are these lines
that you have penned...

***But the eyes will
   never dim
   A burning fire
   inside will there
   always be

   Upon my death my love
   Do not cry for me
   For I am here with you
   each day
   Remember me..for how..
   I loved thee ***

Why don't you submit this for
the vote for the book?
It really is a great read!!

Magnolia and Paula: I thank you so much for your reviews and I am glad that you liked it. I hope I can say what my poem did when I am old and gray. Once again thank you!

How romantic and touching Bustem!
Irie enjoyed this very, very much!  
I hope that I can grow old with the one I love
and am able to have such wonderful memories of love!

Irie: Thanks so much for the kind words. I hope I can say that also when the eyes dim in my older years.

Love is the life of the soul...
It is the harmony of the universe
