Were you to ask me
Of life’s greatest joy
My reply most likely
When love finds the heart of a boy
The transformation that takes place
From that boy to man
When he learns about love
Attraction for a girl he understands
Suddenly nothing else matters
But quenching that thirst
To feel love for that girl
Knowing only one can be first
No one else will
Reach so deep in his heart
Almost like being reborn
Eternal love from its start
Love so strong
Growing stronger by the day
With her name upon his lips
“I love you” he’ll need to say
Years later that girl and boy
Now woman and man
She’s moved away with family
Life’s changes he understands
But nonetheless
His love still grows
For she is the love of his life
His heart’s purpose he knows
His life lesson
What greater joy for a man
Than to embrace the jewel of his heart
Love for a woman

I said ya can call me Susan - but never Sue! heehee.
How 'bout Suzie? 🤣
I think the person named Susan would hate Suzie too. I can't say I'm too keen on being called Mr Suzie either! lol.

that love you hold dear is perfectly clear my friend & poetically personified so oft repeatedly in beautiful variations on a single theme ... 🌹
I know it's very repetitive, but it just comes out the way it comes out. And if she were to ever come here, well she's got some reading to keep her busy. 🙂 Thanks N.
not repetitive in the negative sense, I assure you .. I also assure you that I have doubt you are write and she would love it .. N 🙂

A beautifully woven piece!
Thank you Garth. 😉
Very Good, I like the rhythm.
Thank you mnirgm, sometimes the rhythm is unknowingly built into the write as it comes. At least, when I look back on a poem I've penned, it's then that I notice it.
Lovely writing 🙂 especially like the last verse
Thank you Rose, that's the icing on the cake. 😉
