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

Good write AP.
Orchi, my cheery 'ole fellow. Thank you, kind Sir. How's KP? 😁
Ohh, me days get worse, go further downhill every day, ya know with KP. lol.
Well, at least you're in good spirits Orchi. With any luck she'll come and spend retirement with you. 😁
Argghh! Can I bear it - KP with me all day and all night? lol.
Look at the bright side Orchi. KP could tell you all about the benefits of Botox. 😊
Ah good yes! lol
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. 🙂
