Still in love

I have been so much in love

these past twenty two years.

Fallen in love… thrice , these past years.

It was love at first sight as far as I was concerned

they hold me captive, all these years hence.

Their eyes held innocence and beauty so rare

i drowned in their eyes to see mine reflected in theirs.

Their skin so soft as i held them to my breast

raining kisses on them to my hearts content .

Their smiles like little lamps shining out of the dark

i learned to smile broader as i watched them glow bright.

Their silly ways always turned to be my delight

i always enjoyed being made a clown in their sight.

I'm still so much in love with this set of three

God-given treasures entrusted to my keep.

Now, they are all grown up it gratifies me

To know THEY LOVE ME TOO, intensely.

As they go out into the world,, these little loves of mine

I pray that God's presence always carries them on.

And if today, HE asks me if i have done them well

I know i can truly say

" Lord by your grace, i gave them my best".
