The day is grey and cool
and wind whispers through the trees
as if to say I know you pray
but this is your today.

And of today it will be
the same as yesterday
when like a leaf upon a tree
not yet is love set free?    

As nature changes green to brown  
I too have weathered time  
and retreated from the yesterdays
I still see in my today.

Oh, wisdom to a fool I see
and the rules are still the same
but like the pain of birth to sons
love overcomes the ache in one.

And love builds bridges over past
with passion as the map
to help us find the time to say
“I love you” now today.

And of love tomorrow it can be
the same as yesterday  
for once in love then always so
deep down inside your soul!

Helen

A friend said to me today..."real love is timeless".  I think that this is so.  It's always good to read your thoughts.

Wonderful analogy Helen Dear~
The pain of loving is not lost in your words,  rather they bring out the best of a timeless emotion that lives deep in our hearts.

Love ya, gal!

Dear Bluesy, your encouragement means a lot to me way over here in a perhaps forgotten land where people live, love, and die perhaps before their time.  And you look after "you" - okay?
