Bonds

How could you think my beloved
that life is not worth living?
For me life is an endless joy
because it is shared with you.

I only have to think, my darling of times shared with you
and a smile will touch my lips.
A memory imprinted on my mind
springs alive.

I can see us, walking along
a sandy beach hand in hand.
In our wake we leave the
imprint of our bare feet.

Laughter rang in the early
morning air as we ran through
a meadow of summer flowers;
scattering dandelion clocks on the breeze.

Rmember too the soft grass
as we sat beside a burbling stream.
We lazed under the shady branches of
a weeping willow, listening to the gentle waters.

These simple memories are the fabric
of which my love is made.
A fabric which binds us together;
for life.
