Shoe Lace
by Isabel Cecilia Pascual
(Manila, Philippines)
Means the world to me
When you kneel down
And tie them for me
From the time of long ago
And until now that we're grey
You made me feel so special
In your simple, tender ways
You made me see love
That is much more
Grandiose and colourful
Like a rainbow in the mist
And pavo real's plumes
Let me pluck one if I may
Dip it in indigo and gold
In your heart I shall inscribe
These words of love I pledge...
"I shall love thee now
And all the days of my life
With all my heart---
Forever will be yours." Note: A poem written for my beloved husband...(micp2-12-12/01900et)
