Forward in Time

I need to have you near each day
to tell you how I care...
There is never a moment in time
my love for you is gentle and fair...

Let's not travel back in time
remembering suffering and pain...
for if we do
our love would be in vain...

Let's walk forward to find
happiness we both have earned...
through the years..we have known heartache
and now..we both have learned...

What to do..what not to do..to make one another happy
what a sweet simple thing...
it is the special words spoken..a gentle touch..a sweet smile
unspoken thoughts and love they bring...

We both may have stumbled now and then
but never lost our way...
our love happened in a twinkling of an eye
one bright summer's day
