Love, romance, starting over,finding true love after loss of a spouse. |
Once Upon A Wishing Stone Once upon a wishing stone a beautiful white Swan, all alone Searched for a very long time to find her place In a cruel world of stagnant ponds, after losing her mate Her dreams dashed, sent her looking for lily pads, lotus in bloom Her head tucked down in sadness and gloom Then one day she came upon a clear blue pond Where rainbows danced and moonbeams shone Adrift in peaceful harmony, she found herself gliding under clouds of distant memories On one brightly shining morn she saw a reflection on the pond, at first she thought it was her own Startled she swam away to watch from afar Then anticipation rose in her chest, she could barely catch her breath Could this be the Swan she had waited for all her life... Suddenly without warning the handsome white Swan Lifted his wings in a gesture of love She was shy at first, and doubted his words A Swan who's charm lured her, right into his arms He promised her undying love, to cherish her with all his heart Together they'd live on this beautiful pond With lily pads floating softly by, lotus in bloom and a summer sky The ceremony began...... And there behind a wishing stone they vowed their love forevermore This treasure she locked within her heart, at last she'd found her ONE true love Through thunder and lightening and through the storm He never lets go of her hand....
