Poem:
"Then and Now"
There
once was a boy who entered my life
With
the warmth of sunshine on a winters day
And
brought me such joy by simply knowing
Of
his very existence
The
smile on his face would brighten the darkest day
And
turn the gray clouds into sunshine
Yet
never knowing the reason why
He
became so important to me
I
cannot live without him near me
Sharing
the warmth and joy I so desperately need
Holding
me so close that only the two of us know
Just
how special these feelings have become
Then
I thought it was just a passing thing
Now
I know the joy loving you can bring
Then
I thought my love would someday die
Now
I know I can never say goodbye
