Do you remember?

Do you remember the first time we met?
The minute I caught your eye,
I couldn’t believe what I saw,
That was my lucky day.

Do you remember the first time we talked?
Something stirred within me,
When I asked you for a favor,
Your smile took my breath away.

Do you remember the first time we touched?
How your hand felt in mine,
And how you held me when we danced,
I was forever lost in you.

Do you remember the first time we kissed?
Your lips told me more than your words,
With the excitement of the moment,
I knew no other would do.

Do you remember falling in love?
How we cried at the feelings we shared,
We wanted so badly to be together,
And make this dream come to life,

Do you remember the first time we made love?
That most wonderful day that we wed,
The joy and happiness I had been looking for,
You gave me by becoming my wife.

The answer is always NO, Until the question is asked.

I bet she hasn't forgotten! But, too often those times never last. Still, those memories are always there.

Tracey, there be not a woman on the face of this earth who would not be swooning if she were to receive a poem of remembrance and adore such as this, from her husband.

This would make a perfect anniversary poem! (Is is?)

You are both blessed to have found each other and may you remain together forever and a day and as happy as this poem so lovingly illustrates. God bless you both!

You know, we just don't see enough of these type of poems. Husband and wife and the love between them, what better fuel for a poem. Good job Tracey.
