Time has been my companion far too long when thought through,

Some credit time for their love however it’s something I won’t do,

Love caressed my soul from within, awaking my being into paradise,

Introduced into the kingdom of heaven by an angel before my eyes,

Love at first sight is a truth that is unknown to most everyone I know,

It is my truth as I have loved Patti upon first sight of her angelic glow,

Her beautiful hazel eyes sparkled in the evening light as if by magic,

For two years I’d bide my time, unable to express my love was tragic,

In my journey with time I’d dream of her and think of her beauty,

Then time snatched me away by draft to perform my military duty,

Again I’m biding time while my love for her continues to grow,

I strongly felt it to be true that she would be the only love I’d know,

After my honorable discharge she and I were finally able to date,

Time accelerated as loving her made each moment in my life great,

To feel her tender lips each day is a blessing that is mine alone,

Her presence in my car transformed it into a chariot only I own,

After she graduated from high school we at last were married,

Time has barely left enough time for the two children she carried,

It seemed a matter of minutes until they married and moved away,

Through it all our love has grown, I love her more deeply every day,

We have leapt through time to enter our senior years in love,

My memories are mainly of love and the girl I always dream of,

I dreamed of her before we met and most every night since then,

I’ve given my love and life to her in thanks for her love I live in.

The end, by Pat for Patti
