THE NEXT STEP

I'm all for marking time

And staying in one spot.

My life is such a pleasure to me.

I'm happy with what I've got.

I don't want to step backward,

Though I found pleasure there;

I don't want to step forward

Into what could be thin air.

Left, right, left, right, marking time,

With no 'next step' at all.

That may be rather wimpish,

But then, I'm having a ball.

LOVE!

Isn't this the most romantic shot you've ever seen!

Far surpassing shots of bridal glory!

The honeymoon is over but romance has kept its sheen,

And, day by day, they're living a Love Story.

I saw them at the beach with their delightful little boy,

Who was dabbling in the water, unaware

That his parents were expressing a unique and charming joy;

The world was watching, but they didn't care.

True love does not depend upon 'the wedding' or 'the dress',

Or the photographs bedecked with silver hearts.

This photograph, to me, expresses special happiness,

It's how a romance grows, not how it starts.
