THE JEWEL WITHIN YOUR FACE

 

I will always love you

with all your lovely ways.

And that precious little smile of yours

the jewel within your face.

 

We danced a lot in the early days

as you warmed my heart in so many ways.

I couldn’t help but fall in love

for you were my angel, sent from above.

 

There is a song of a ‘Lady in Red’

with you it was a little brown dress!

So simple in its shape and design

but in it you looked so divine.

 

Little things are special for me and you

like that night alone with you.

When we looked up to the stars, in early spring

and to us it meant everything.

 

Our life together continues on

but the little brown dress, sadly has gone.

Time has passed, the dancing has too

but I am still in love with you.

 

I will always love you

with all your lovely ways.

And that precious little smile of yours

the jewel within your face.

thank you Judy, I was a

thank you Judy, I was a little nervous to put this one on as I wasn't sure how it would come across.Thank you for all your encouragement. Until about 6/8 weeks ago my poems had only been seen by my wife, daughters and close family. But I've dared to do and got myself out there on sites like this and I am stunned at the complimentary encouragement I have received. Wished I'd done it sooner. thanks again. Kind regards, Tim
