Anniversary Poem - Love Recaptured

by Bruce Beaney
(Ashford UK)

As days go by and years unwind
And time, at times, seems still
Before we know or start to guess
Time’s gone against our will

So let us heed the well worn phrase
Time stands still for no man
Sand seeps through, unhindered now
Decades now we span

The outside says sit back, don’t care
Beware, though, its misleading
Make the most of what you have
The heart gives truer feeling

Take the plunge, put in those steps
Where angels fear to tread
Time still flies but with resolve
Love once more will spread

All days should present for you
Your wants, needs and desires
But only you can open them
And find those dying fires

A special time, filled with love
The day that we were wed
Let not the hours ticking by
Remove sentiments then said
