“Funny face I need you ...funny face I love you these are the sweetest words I’ve ever heard.” A song my dad called theirs (my mother and his) I’m not sure where the funny face fit in, for her beauty is very exotic They danced to this song many years ago as they glanced to each other with smiles on their faces moving rhythmically in the world around them I found the song while visiting on Thanksgiving I played it on their stereo and I watched as the years faded. My dad started to smile, and slowly got up from his chair he took my mother's hand and they danced this song once again. Their magic still as strong as the day they married. The rhythm still struck the right notes and I cried for their lost years , and I smiled for the memories that showed on their faces as the music stayed so strong, and the romance still danced with them. When I heard my dad tell mother "I love you" tears fell from my eyes... for I saw why.... These are the sweetest words I’ve ever heard |

such love that survives the ravages of life over time and finds itself able to smile, is the love that should be written of and glorified. For this.. this lasting testament to commitment and respect..has the greater lesson than Romeo and Juliet. A touching and uplifting piece... if you have not shared it with them, you should. |

Salty, now I know why you are such a sweet, loving person....because your parents have been a very good example for you. This reminds me of my parents. Not only do they still love each other after all these years, but they are still as "in love" with each other as the day they were married. Thank you for sharing this piece of your heart.

Doesn't sound like your find was lost years but found tears and two who are where we all wish to be. Enjoyed. |

A song my dad called theirs (my mother and his) I’m not sure where the funny face fit in, for her beauty is very exotic ...the secret language of love, nothing touches it. |

and the romance still danced with them ...and there, is the secret--how wonderful to know such a love--treasured words for them I am sure--enjoyed!! "And it was at that age...Poetry arrived in search of me...And something started in my soul." |
