Oh Love, Sweet Love!

Oh love, sweet love, that once was mine
Please cast your eyes this way
You owe me one more tender glance
Before you turn away

Oh love, whose hands once touched my cheek
Caress me with your eyes
Let memories gaze through love’s sweet tears
To where the splendor lies

Oh love, whose lips once kissed my hand
Please let them smile again
Look at my face and see the love
That I have felt since then

Oh heart, be filled with joy once more
When his eyes touch with mine
And savor sweetness of the blend
Of life’s most bitter wine

His eyes they see,
though hands don't touch.
He's by your side,
loves you so much.

When vinager becomes fine wine,
All will rest ~ for all time.

Bitter wine is probably one of the hardest things to swallow...
how sadly beautiful and heartfelt this is.

Just lovely~
