We Held the Fire and Ate the Blaze
We Held The Fire And Ate The Blaze
We held the fire and ate the blaze,
And love sang in its fantastic musical tones,
Such was deep pleasure we sought to raise,
Living on our love and meager bare bones.
You cried when I begged for your sweet hand,
Swearing our love would forever last,
I was so worried making such a bold stand,
Praying you would not remember my bad past.
Exultation came when you cried out- right now,
I truly knew your heart had embraced mine,
And had accepted my risky pledge and vow,
Giving me all of you, my darling so very fine!
Life gives and blesses as it tumbles onward.
With eyes wide open we must look forward!

MAY 9TH, 1976
Note- Almost 40 years ago. I was once that hopeful and thought that love
could be an unbreakable bond.
