YESTERDAY'S LOVE ****** Just an old woman, living alone, no Valentine cards, no flowers; Memories of yesterday's love are all I have to pass the hours. I can remember when love was new, when the blush on my face matched the rose that he offered to me, silently - and still in my dreams, comes and goes. I don't often think about loving, the pain of losing him was too much; I have our children, and theirs to love, and I'm happy with that, as such. As Valentine's Day grows closer, I get out my cards and my pen - and I am amazed at today's love that multiplies again and again! Yesterday's love is a memory but today's love is strong and true; One is forever, one is for now - and I know that it will surely do! Countrymom 2/13/05 |
