My Sweetheart

Two strong arms to hold me tight
Two loving eyes bright with light
One beating heart that pounds for me
One big soul to set me free
Two sturdy legs that can support
Two happy feet for my transport
One pair of hands to grasp me so
One clear mind where love can grow
Two lips that kiss one another
Two sweethearts that love each other
One couple for all to see
One love joined in harmony



I had been going through old photos again and came across some wedding photos of my parents, and was struck by their love for each other and the hardship couples went through in those days.  the simple things meant so much to them.  This poem came from those thoughts.
