We'll be together one fine day
Though life has turned our hair to gray
And we've missed the tender touch of youth
But not the warm embrace of truth;
The course was set before we knew
That you were me, and I was you,
And though our paths took different turns
The passion deep within us burns;
Like fleeting memories yet unknown,
A beacon shines that draws us home
To all that's real when there is doubt,
To remind us what life's all about;
Though passion blossoms when we're young,
The sweetest songs remain unsung
Until we find that perfect sound -
When the missing note is finally found;
Shall we complete this symphony,
This timeless tale of you and me,
Don't let the music fade away -
We'll be together one fine day.

You know, Midnight, it only took me 3 1/2 years to conclude it....but you DO have a natural penchant for: ''Picture Perfect'' Metre/Rhythm, my dear Midnight.... as so displayed above. You have heard of course the tune from The Beatles famed Sgt. Peppers album, ''Lovely Rita'', that goes, ''Lovely Rita, meter maid, sing us a song about ya'....'' Wellllll, say hello, to yet another title? alias/aka, FjR developed, of course... Midnight Metre M(ade) Magnificent! FjR

So tender is the love With age matures more and more like old wine, giving that sweet / bitter taste Beautiful poem
