The Life I Knew..


The life I knew was somewhat dark,
Then you came along and added spark.
A ray of sunshine, a bright new moon,
Your love and mine has begun to bloom.

It seems so soon to feel heart’s beating,
We haven’t had our first real meeting.
The time has come when we will kiss
And share the joy of contented bliss.

I know inside I’ll be a-flutter,
With words that you may quietly utter.
I’ll be all smiles and feel brand new,
The day you feel the same way too.

Very nice, romantic, and provokes that anticapatory feeling that is so great.

You have summed it up very nicely and it is important that two share the same feelings....James

Katherine, this felt so comfy', I couldn't help myself, I had to offer another verse. Hope you don't mind.
--------
And then perhaps we'll dance away,
Awhile sweet nothings we will say.
Each to each in the other's ear,
All those things we want to hear.
--------

James, it's always nice when two people feel the same and treat each other the same.


Krawdad.. thank you for the added verse and it is so lovely too.. with your permission I may just add that to the poem. It's always a pleasure to have someone whisper sweet nothings in one's ear.


Be blessed!

Katie, loved the poem. Now for the question: do you have the fella all picked out or is this divining him into being?

Julian, I'm sorry to say that was last year's pick and the crop failed miserably. I'm going to throw some fertilizer on this year's crop. LOL

~You make me laugh
You bless my heart
You're been my friend
From the very start~

Very well written, Katherine. Better luck this year!!
