Love Of My Life

I once had a dream
not real, in how it seemed
We started our love
And found a tree
A small youthful sapling
It's leaves barely green
and on it, a heart
Containing the initials
Of you and me
We began a love
so innocent and pure
you, I, and a heart on a tree
Opened the door.

The next night
I saw so bright
you in a chair
Rocking alone
your arms form a cradle
our child you hold
a tear passes your cheek
I watch from above
The babe and you asleep
and the chair,
stops it's creak.

The third night in bed
I lay, all night, awake
In dreams do I live or die?
I imagine it's the chance I take
When the dream finally begins
I'm amazed at what I see
a face full of wrinkles and hair of grey
I think, oh god, that face is me
i no longer work, I only sit
On the front porch 
with you by my side
Our kids came by
the little one is wild
No, not our kid
I'm talking about the grandchild
Her hair long and blonde
glasses on her nose
16 years old
She looks like you did
but no one knows.

Her boyfriend comes over
only him, she swears she loves
They sit by the tree
In our back-yard
The one that holds our heart
Pronouncing our love
from long ago
but something has changed
from long ago
I go to the tree
see our heart and look below
and there is another heart
holding two names
One of a boy
the damage seems mild
then below his name
is the name of our grandchild

Sometimes love is a dream
but maybe it's worth a look
cause sometimes
hard as it may seem
No matter how much you betray
love always finds a way
You may be young
You may be old
But love gets through
And your story will be told
So look at who your with
And try to live with the strife
Cause my love is your love
and Becky...
You are the love of my life!

     So far now my GF and I have been together for over a year now.
We've shared almost every experience together and I just want to let
her know just how I feel.  
I love you becky... Always Remember Me
