LOVE LOCKET

 

My grip is so tight; I’m never letting go,

Rosy cheeks, and curly hair that blows,

My love is always ascending if anyone knows,

I see big brown baby eyes that glow.

 

I’ve been to the tallest mountain to search,

I’ll grow old with you while I hold my birch,

Will be two lovebirds and all will do is perch,

Recalling the wedding bells that ranged at the church.

 

I can’t wait to race you in our wheel chairs,

Or look at your false teeth that you wear,

Or the whiteness of your curls with a few stands of hair,

But you will always have those eyes that send out a glare.

 

I’ll always remembered our teenage years,

So young and precious you made my heart flare,

You wearing your love locket of us being a pair,

Or your promise ring with diamonds being so clear.

 

I can’t wait to see you once again,

To see you laugh and smile with your bobby pins,

To read all your love letters that you wrote in a tin,

Or all my poems I wrote for you in my favourite bin.

 

How did you make it through each day without me?

For me, it was recalling the day I got on one knee,

Or watching the ships go by in the seas,

Or keeping a picture in my pocket was helpful indeed.

 

But really I knew that we would always be together,

You have always stayed by my side and loved me forever,

Secret agents can’t replace you but they are clever,

My SOS was the only help, as I had to pull the lever.

 

I bet you believe in a lot more than love now,

Humans flew rockets into space as people questioned how,

Nothing is impossible if you believe in yourself and allow,

Windsor, Ontario is my home, next to Tecumseh and LaSalle.
