Love Poem: When We Were Young

When We Were Young


We fell in love,
my love,
with each other
when we were young

Laughing and playing
together
come each morning sun
Kissing and holding hands
tenderly
when the evenings would come

Our love began to blossom
when we were so innocent
Our two hearts grew as one
when we were so young

And as time went by,
we fell in love more each day
And as the years did fly,
we arrived at that special day
When our two lips as one
said I do
When we vowed to each other
to always be true

We waited for that day,
my love,
since we were young
We promised each other
our love
when we were young

Then over the years,
our love
only grew more and more
Our love leaves
became bright gold
as we grew old

Now we look back,
and recall the days
when we were young

How we gave our hearts
to each other, my love,
when we were young


Dedicated in loving memory of my beloved mother, Barbara,
who was married to my father for over 60 years
This is my song of their lifelong love affair
