I Can Still Remember

I can still remember one special day in spring
when I first saw you, wear my wedding ring.
The summer of our love, the beginning of our time
now in the autumn of our love, I’m glad you are still mine.

I can still remember the loveliness of your face
graced by your smile and your warm embrace.
And the years have not changed you or your ways
you are just the same, as you were in those early days.

I can still remember how little we used to have
but as long as we were together, it didn’t seem so bad.
And after being away, we’d be happy to be back home
it was still our special place, somewhere to call our own.

I can still remember when the little ones came
gifts you gave to me, children with my name.
And how they grew and found lives of their own
eventually leaving us, to have their own home.

I can still remember when I was first in love with you
and after all the years, I still love you and all you do.
All those years ago I married a lovely young wife
and now I’m married to someone, who is my whole life.

Thank you Shirley and congratulations on your forthcoming wedding! My daughters are either side of your age and one is married with children and the other has recently been let down. Hence my poem ' Keep loves candle burning'.(the first one I submitted on this site) Marriage is a wonderful thing, don't let anyone tell you different!
wishing you happy days,
Tim
