The Bond Poem by louis rams

i was laying on the beach
feeling the rays of the sun.
children all around me
dancing and having fun.

when the sun was blocked from view
i opened my eyes so that i could see.
and there was the shadow of someone
staring down at me.

as my eyes started to focus
on the person blocking the sun
i saw a figure like i had never seen before.
nor will i ever more.

the hour glass shape
and her hair so dark
this was love at the start
.
from that moment on
i knew that she was the one for me.
she turned me around and sent me
to the height of ecstacy.

i stood up and searched for words to say
but all my thoughts just slipped away.

she was the one to break the ice.
and told me that she was a family friend
and that to my wishes she would tend.

she said that she was attracted
to me from the start
and of my life she wanted a part.

now every night that i pray
i thank the lord for that day
for love is the bond
love is the key
it is what sets us free.
