Anniversary Poem

I have not forgotten, the first time I saw you

As you glided into your chair

How your smile overtook the lighted room

And your eyes seized all the air

I have not forgotten, when I held your hand

And felt the spark of your fingertips

Or the dizzying taste of sparkling wine

In the kiss that fell from your lips

I have not forgotten, how you looked

When day gave in to night

And the moon lay soft upon your skin

While your eyes reflected its light

I have not forgotten, promises we made

Or the tests we faced time and again

When storms, we oft brought on ourselves

Sought fiercely to bring us to an end

I have not forgotten, the love that bound

While other ties were broken

When the words “I’m sorry, and I love you still”

Were real when they were spoken

I have not forgotten, how you stood

For all you believed was right

Or the comforting touch of your gentle hand

On mine, through life’s uncertain night

No, I have not forgotten, I should not forget

And certain sure, I never will                                                                          

For all that caused me to love you then

Does cause me to love you still

Happy Anniversary, Patty Gooding .


I love you Babe, Kevin Mar 29 2012
