To My Loving Husband Poem by Sheri Green

I walked beside the stoney lee
Alongst the banks of the shore
Sheltering from the chilling breeze
As I had done so many times before

The sunlight danced upon the waves
As I edged the shallows where
The waters met the mammoth caves
That lined the seashore there

Gazing across the waters deep
No sound I heard as you drew near
But to the sky my heart did leap
As you so softly whispered in my ear

'Oh, what a great beauty, the sea'
Were the words you so softly said
Then you offered your hand to me
And I smiled and nodded my head

How your shining eyes held the sun
When the wind touched your hair
'Twas my very heart you had won
with those beguiling eyes so fair

You led me alongst the rocky trace
Keeping me ever so close to your side
'Twas there that our love first embraced
Surging as didst the incoming tide

And now swiftly the years have flown
Since that fated day by the sea
How deep my unbridled love has grown
For the man that now stands before me

And if fate in its fickle way
Gave me the time to begin again
I would vehemently cry out nay
Lest I forget that which is kenned

When Heaven releases me of earthly demands
With a most contented sigh I shall die
For tis always in your loving hands
My tempered heart shall forever lie
