A Challenge

You lie in all my many thoughts – The Presence of Love…Samuel Coleridge

When first I saw you I fell in love

A die was cast so long ago

And thus with so much love betwixt

We sought the reverend to bind us so.

For almost fifty years we loved

Our thoughts so much entwined

I loved you each and every day

To my tender soul you were e’er so kind.

I loved you through all my yesterdays

Your essence still fills my heart

And even though you now have gone

We will never be far apart.
