The Rose of Sharon
She put the WOW!
On my lips
The awe on my face
My heart in eclipse
Nearly fifty-seven years
Still, she rules my heart
Fifty-three years I’ve not seen her
My love for her matured from the start
A woman of grace
She’d be today
A mirror rarely blessed
To reflect her that way
Just a walk in the park for her
Same as while a young girl
The day she stole my heart
The prettiest in the world
Like a collage all over my heart
Her face and name of Sharon
Her smile of my inner fire
Showing my pride to share on
In all my life
Only she reached so deep
My heart’s core she owns
For eternity she’ll keep
And to my grave I’ll go
A contented old man
For having loved her so long
The very best that I can
