Ode To Love

By Beryl L. Edmonds

To everything, there’s a time and season

Time to laugh and to weep for good reason.

A season for living, to find true love

And a time to dance with angels above.

Holder of my heart, vision of my dreams,

The way you walked, talked and those eyes that gleamed,

Invading my thoughts by day and by night. Darling, you inspire my bleak soul to write.

Let me compare thee to an April day.

Showers of rain that bring forth buds of May,

Shining like the sun beams down now and then

Making earth become beautiful again.

How do I love thee? I’ll tell you the ways. Whispered sweet nothings that raised up my days,

Being wrapped in your arms, magic we’ve shared.

Each precious moment you handled with care.

To heaven and back, a very long time.

Time will never erase you from my mind.

The memories made, I keep as a gift

Tied up with ribbons and sealed with a kiss.

Sweetheart, you’ll always be my shining star.

Bright light of my life, where’er thou art?

Tho’ I go on with deep pain in my heart.

Remember these words whilst we are apart. I miss you whilst you are out of my sight.

I miss you now that you’re out of my life.
