a soft hand like a tender embrace
a curl, a touch, a slow caress
bespeaks of love's adorning place
where less is more as more is less

a hand of joy when it was young
that wore a ring to sign of love
to hold her tight when they were strong
guarding blessings sent from above

as time wore on so did that hand
but spots of age could not erase
strengths of a long lost holy band
a life of shares and pleasant days

when touching was as good as holding
and holding spoke of loving
where loving lent way to caring
sharing life within their lives

"where less is more as more is less"


I adore this portrait of unconditional love.  Falling in love, getting married, the blessings of children, memories, and through all of their lives ... still ... the love lasts and lasts ... definitely something to look forward to.

Sentimentally romantic write.

Enjoyed!

Janette

always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same
