The Test of Time

 

From a distant past

Comes a face so dear

My heart’s treasured memory

So long ago since she was near

 

But like yesterday it seems

Those memories fill my mind

Her eyes so bright

Her smile so kind

 

And there was I

Just a young boy in love

Lost in admiration

Yearning favors of stars above

 

First love

Tender and true

 A bid to pass the test of time

Successful by so few

 

And yet, here she is

Within the fortress of my heart

Where she’s been all these years

From a long ago start

 

Love need not always be

That of a two-way street

Not for a love such as this

A love to forever keep

 

To my awaited grave

With all these memories I’ll go

Each and every one

My love for her will show
