A Lifetime Of Loving You Poem by Ray Lucero

Many years ago our feet did dance
To Chuck, Roy, Elvis and Jerry Lee
Magical nights filled with romance
High School sweethearts, fancy free


My racing heart true love expressed
Every day/night, I wanted only you
Kissed your lips, brown hair caressed
Knew all the while my loins subdue...

Lest we bring forth a twist of fate
Forever change events foreseen
Force future dreams to deviate
Compel fragile hearts demean

Alas, in stark truth and retrospect
We tried too hard to heart protect
