Once

Once I carved upon a tree
The letters I and S for me
Surrounded by the shape of heart
The symbol of a loving start

My oh my how it has grown
Who would have guessed its overtone?
Twice the size to look and see
This heart inscribed upon a tree

And as I thought upon its date
Its years and age and of my fate
A tear slipped down my lower lid
And caught upon my symbols ID

She still is carved upon my heart
And never left it from the start
Today we hold our hands in thrall
But mostly it’s to stay a fall

The carving stays in deep the core
But cannot speak the years of awe

Seymour, your honey is so lucky to have you.
Do you write her a lot of poetry? If so,
I'll bet she loves it.
Hugs,
Ethel
