He laughs as she runs, screaming, from the frog gripped in his hands And chases after her across the schoolyard Until she lets him catch up to her... I want to be loved like that. With trembling fingers he pins the flowers to her dress Then grins at her fathers frown as he snaps a picture And a blush stains her cheeks a delicate pink... I want to be loved like that. He clears his throat as he places the ring on her finger And swears his undying love in front of his friends As tears run down her cheeks for the faith he is expressing... I want to be loved like that. His heart races and his hands tremble The first time he holds his newborn son And she gazes tenderly at him through pain weary eyes... I want to be loved like that. He comes home, exhausted, weary Too many heartaches, too many cares And she kisses the fears away... I want to be loved like that. He tenderly brushes silvered hair from her face And places a kiss on her upturned lips She smiles and gently squeezes age worn hands... I want to be loved like that. He gently places one last rose on winter hard ground And stumbles from this empty place As she watches him from heavens gate...waiting... I want to be loved like that. |

Paula, This is such a lovely poem! The way you take the reader on a journey from the schoolyard to the grave makes this one "stick out" from the crowd I just wish I could vote for it  All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |
