IF YOU FIND LOVE
by Richard Maxfield
3-26-99

If you find love
Hold on tight
Hold each other
Through the night

With youth and passion
We did say
Forever in love
We will stay

As years went by
Our love did grow
She gave me children
Our love to show

I loved her like
No one could
I gave my all
As I should

Each day that passed
I loved her more
Love was free
Never a chore

I kissed her face
Touched her hair
Her with me
Not a care

Years came
Years went
My life with her
I had spent

Looking forward
To the day
Just her and I
Could run away

Not for ever
But just awhile
To touch her face
Kiss her smile

Each day that passed
Lines did form
Keeping each other safe
From life’s storm

As time passed
The light grew clear
More time to love
Was growing near

I woke one day
To hear her say
I am leaving you
Alone today

I thought it was
Just a bad dream
I tried to wake
With a scream

She said
Found another
I cant be your wife
Or a mother

She took her things
Went away
Nothing I did wrong
She did say

I sit and cry
What went wrong
With love so good
For so long

I am left alone
With pain and sorrow
Taken away
Hopes of tomorrow

If you find love
Hold on tight
Hold each other
Through the night

You can never know
If love will stay
Forever
Or just a day

Thank you for your comment. life has many twist and turns that we must deal with. Sad that some people dont understand the mark they leave on others hearts.
Love and light,
Richard

Richard,

I feel the pain that must have inspired this piece.  Life is always funny and nothing really is certain . . . especially in affairs of the heart.  May your poetry help to heal your broken heart my friend.

This is so true and it's sad how humans treat each other sometimes.  Very good presentation!!

Aww, Richard...How I feel your hurt..Strange how someone can walk all over the heart of another and not see the footprints of pain they leave there..Hope it feels better soon..   ~LL~
