I'll be waiting (poem)

[Advent]

Well, with people posting love poetry around, I might as well put some more of my own up.

All the animals upon the Earth
Probably look on with casual mirth
On this thing we have called love
As light and beautiful as a dove
I have never tasted such
And I'm sure you haven't had much
But eventually, on one fateful day
We ourselves will jump into the fray
The fray of life, our own little mission
Where we might find peaceful submission
To our love, in this life or another
We'll know when, the day we find each other
I still don't recognize your face
But I'll look forward to our little race
When we take that last, long dive
To, with our union, finally thrive
However, my sweet, time always moves slowly
No matter how much life becomes lowly
But be patient, for when we share our lives
Our memories will be sharper then a thousand knives.

I'll be waiting.
