Twenty years Ago

Twenty years Ago

A Poem by SmittyJas
"

If Only we Met

"
Our loving should of started twenty years ago
When we were in our youth
Back when we would of known the truth
About life and love complete

I feel we missed the train the boat the plane
twenty years gone by
But now we meet for the first time
A real crime wasted time

We walked throughout life blind
For at least twenty years
before that we would of been to young to handle
Our love affair We could of been in our early Twenties

And shared a lot of money
Went to a lot of parties
But we missed out twenty years ago
We missed the even flow

Twenty years has gone by
Time is not on our side
I won't have you by my side
As we grow old and gray

God had chosen to take you 
Early in this game of life
I used to pray about it
But I didn't have a say in it

It's those twenty years of our youth well wasted
I thank God for the past five years we spent together
remembering the good times we had
Made my life better not so bad

I learned to love you better
Caring Sharing kind of love
From heaven above
When God Sent me you

But just for this little while
Right before you got ill
I think about you still
Now that you're in the beyond

And you been gone
My love for you is still strong
You were a woman of great heart
Kept me laughing with your wits

Even when we thought life gave us the pits
you lifted my eyes and showed me the way
With a smile on your face and a hidden heavy heart
You said your love for me was stronger than an ox

Yes I remember all the good times we had
The bad times are wiped away in the dust
You reminded me those first twenty years
really didn't matter much

We saved the best for last
Then you laughed and said our goodbyes
Then God's angel came to take you home
now Jesus has you and you are waiting for me to join you.

This is a MUSE Filled Poem
Written from the Imagination
and entertainment of poets and writers
Everywhere.
