Sonnet # 9 Poem by Edwina Reizer

I cannot say I've never loved.
I've loved from dawn to night.
And when the stars have seen me sleep,
I've loved whilst in their sight.

I've loved in youthful ways of yore
with bright eyed wonder and praise.
I've loved with ardent fervor
all of Mother Nature's ways.

I've loved as a woman loves a man
and gave in to the feeling of bliss.
And when I felt loved in return
there was nothing better than this.

I cannot say I've never loved
for then I would be lying
And when I feel the approach of death
my love goes beyond my dying.
