Devotion
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Wednesday, April 14,2010, @8: 31 PM
Our winters never it snowed
Autumn's leafs never yellowed
No longer days overshadowed
In merriment, we often wallowed
Temperament's high strong now mellowed
Sweet wine of life once flowed
Fruits ripened we once sowed
Together for us time slowed
Streets walked seldom narrowed
Gone were the days thought sorrowed
Joy and laughter once bestowed
Our time was simply borrowed
Things one could never forebode
High was the price of my heavy load
Journeyed I down lonesome rocky road
Such a debt I once owed
Bitter juice of life once swallowed
On a shelf my heart I stowed
To the moonlight, I once followed
Tender the soil I once harrowed
Felt as if my heart could explode
In ferny valleys, our voice echoed
Our features together once glowed
For the joy of life, we once showed
Now the roster mornings crowed
The beautiful bride now widowed
Operatic voice once bellowed
Mystical passages once harrowed
No long can decipher the complex code
New tunes turn to a somber mode
Humble once my loving abode
Through the tulips, we once tiptoed
As I write you my fond ode
As precious metals starts to corrode
As Latin dancers no longer tango
My love time can never erode
