If Only Time Could Grant Me Ten More Years

Dedicated to Courtney, the silent warrior of pen and words. I stay in the shadows, a listening ear, a supporter. http://www.writerscafe.org/MermaidScars

 

 

 

If only time could grant me ten more years
So I can gaze into your loving eyes,
I'd only wish to take away your fears
And wipe your tears when in your lonely cries:
Only in youth, could I find the power
To bear your crosses and your loneliness
When you're in need in the worst of hours
And greet you with these loving arms' caress.
Alas, I know Time is not on my side;
My years advance and there's still much to do.
We've words to write and still much to confide
And I've still many lines to write to you.
Though lines and words cannot replace my heart,
I hope these stay with you and never part.

Beautiful :)

Alas time merely seeks to end those and bring them to the light of forever, a talented piece.

Courtney will love it. It's so obvious in any poetry that you write for her that she's very important to you.

A very thoughtful and intimate poem. I felt that the serenity and the flow of the words made this poem so much better. A beautiful and compelling piece.

This is very moving, and flows eloquently with a pleasant rhythm and rhyme scheme. A very beautiful piece!
