Poetry Personified
She has loved me all my life From the very first day we met And despite long years apart I know that she loves me yet. I loved her first as a child In the infant way I knew And throughout my teenage years My love for her blossomed and grew, Till I turned to another love Thinking she offered me more And coldly closed my mind To the love I had known before. This lady helped me succeed While together with her at the start For she taught many things that she knew But she never captured my heart. And once, when my life was distressed My love was found knelt by my bed For I must have whispered her name Though never a word I said. Now again, in the evening of life She has answered my silent call As slowly I'm learning to know The sound of her soft footfall. |
