I love You Hand in Hand (new poem)
和老婆手牵手
by Tim Kavi
special times
are these
moments in a history
that flies past
that says
I love you!
each to the other
from their heart
as that love
is the language
of all words expressed
in the fast lanes
of modern life
as we hold onto something
each other
sometimes that richness
is all we've got
but what richness!
precious find
true gold rush
those that truly love
that love would bring
one from two families
two worlds apart
even across the universe
to join
hand in hand
that looking back now
there is still
the joys of discovery
as we see each other
eye to eye
hearts beat
next to each other
in the living security
of all that is
lived out
hand in hand
gentle whispers
may make the moment
seem less sensational
than it is
but in those whispers
are mighty shouts
declarations of love
that say
I know you!
I love you!
hand in hand
that is the
eternal bread
the lasting truth
and the destined
determination to love
to say
we will turn again
to each other
facing all this life
is;
hand in hand.
Poet's Afterword: Posting 5 in my VALENTINES BE MINE FOR NINE---is a special anniversary poem. And today (Feb. 9th) is the actual anniversary for two very special people. Now, the Chinese have a very special concept that symbolizes the union between two people in love, and this is often stated in English as 'hand in hand'. In this case, the narrator of the poem is specifically the husband to the wife; hence the special 'hand in hand' designation towards the wife-- 和老婆手牵手 .
