My live in love imbued

Sitting beneath an oak tree Reminiscing of the time The amber leaves of autumn Fell upon the love of mine

As we embraced beneath the branches In the old backyard of our youth Childhood love and romance The thought of which still soothes

Your hair so fair with eyes of blue With just a hint of green The love of my life I met that day A child but in my teens Now a lifetime later Still together and in love Our children play beneath the boughs Surrounded by foxgloves

As beautiful as their mother With just a hint of I I give thanks to the love of mine Whom I’ll love until I die

It is such a miracle a dream-like ours Could be a dream come true My childhood sweetheart beneath this oak My life in love imbued

That autumn day beneath the oak All my dreams came true When I met my darling wife And our lifelong love debuted
