A one-of-a-kind lass
From the depths of my youth
So bold was I to see her
As my heart’s one truth
Her name of Sharon
Engraved upon my heart
My introduction to love
A ten-year old’s start
With bright eyes
And radiant smile
My knees didn’t stand a chance
My heart there at the end of the aisle
Though she moved away
After only four years
She left me with her smile
Instead of endless tears
I grew up
Never forgetting her face
Forever in my heart
In as beautiful a place
In the school of love
With Sharon as my teacher
I’m in awe of all she taught me
Even though I couldn’t reach her
Now I’m sixty-seven years invested
I see the power of love
How it engulfs you
Fits you like a glove
It occurred to me
Isn’t it grand
All that love can do
And what it does to a man
To pen poetic words
Showing the passion inspired
From that of a lovely face
That sparked internal fires
She’ll forever have my heart
My first and last love
Eternally unconditional
Thankful of romantic stars above

A very good poem, this. It struck a chord with me, bringing back memories of my youth and a girl who likewise moved away. I think your treatment of that time is filled with humility and respect. It is captivating to the reader and clearly expresses your felling at the time. Well done. - Phil A.
Thank you Phil, Yes, those young ladies of our youth do have a way with our hearts. Hopefully yours left you smiling as did mine. 🙂
