Two hearts that beat as one

A verse I wrote for my mother and father-in-law on their 50th Wedding Anniverary

 

A beat is heard, a slow rhythmic beat

The beat grows faster and faster and then slows.

Where there was one beat there are now two –

But they are one.

 

Over the years the rhythm changes

The beat quickens, races and skips.

The years pass and the beat remains strong,

The two beats are still one.

now this is one sweet heart felt poem, that i can relate to in my younger days falling in love. Life has a way of moving us all into that fast lane until we go home again and see how life used to be in a loving home.

love, no way better to describe it as two people becoming one, two souls becoming one, two lives becoming one... and cannot forget two hearts beating as one!
