A Quiet Love Song

A QUIET LOVE SONG

I will sing you a song
Sit there, my love
Yes, just like that
You look so lovely
Let me sing you a song

I will sing a song
Of when we were young
Naive and inexperienced
And in love
Or what we knew of it

A song of our wedded life
Of our comings together
And our fallings apart
Of our understandings
And misunderstanding
Of our bonds growing
Stronger and deeper

It is a song of our children
Of our cares and our neglects
Of our hopes and our fears
Of their triumphs and tribulations
Of our gratitude
For their friendship

My song is near its end
It has been a song
Of pain and pleasure
But much more of pleasure
Than of pain

Sit there, my love
I can still see you
You are, indeed
Beautiful.
