Tapestry Of Love

Woven long ago, with excited and trembling hands, 
Tightly held together, and sealed by our tears;
My love and I completed our "tapestry of love"
Promising to nurture and protect it thru the years.

Upon closer examination you will undoubtedly see,
Areas of mending, tearfully and lovingly repaired;
Reflecting the times of unavoidable separation,
Unable to communicate how much we truly cared.

And the times when, between us, strife occurred..
We feared the damage we may have done;
Thru angry moments, our tapestry amazingly endured,
Forever intertwined, our lives no longer our own.

When doubt ascends, and our emotions are unsure..
We become fearful of losing the love that we share;
We gaze upon this tapestry, our tapestry of love,
Reminding us how much we've continued to care.

Knowing the risks that falling in love could bring,
Too aware that a life together might never be;
We still spend each moment we are allowed,
His love continually permeates.. across the ocean to me.
