Seasons Gone

Dedicated to Toni Randall Duesing

Seasons Gone

by denny

Now gone, the days of summer shine
Warm days that now have long gone past
At last your tender lips seek mine
And now I hold you close at last

Though there are shadows on my brow
And seasons gone and with them youth
But you, my dear, you love me now.
In spite of times relentless plow

Though fled is every girlish grace
And gone the bloom of summers rose
Despite the sad and faded face
Still it is you that I have chose

I'll count no more my lonely tears
Nor curse my life's ill gotten fate
Forgotten now the lonely years
For strong is love that comes so late

I fear not now what time may bring
For we have sworn a lover's vow
Thus joyously my heart does sing
And you, my dear, I love you now
