• And I So Love You

  And I So Love You

  By David Roth

  © 18^th June, 2009

   

  Sometimes I lie thinking of choices I’ve made,

  the times I’ve succeeded, or not made the grade,

  the ups and the downs and the prices I’ve paid,

  the answers I got to the prayers that I prayed,

   

  and in my reflections of life and its games,

  some plans were successes; some went up in flames,

  and if I were bitter for failed, empty claims,

  for time’s disillusions, distractions and shames,

   

  I’d never have seen in the shadowy mist,

  the you who was waiting, the chance I’d dismissed,

  and never beheld you, or known you exist,

  or felt the attraction too strong to resist,

   

  and the rambling pathway that brought me to you,

  the sweet, warm embrace always fresh, always new,

  like the sparkle of sunlight on new forming dew,

  gently whispering ‘I love you’, so love you, I do,

   

  and I so love you, and love you I do.

   

  For Linda
  A simple waltz
  In ¾ time
