REMNANTS OF LOVE

A rusty iron table       
Two weathered wicker chairs  
Journals filled with years of love  
And a lock of chestnut hair   
All are aged by the seasons   
Through time, reverently touched  
It's a tender respect for 
The remnants of love

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Remnants of Love
Validation of two lives
And all they shared
Faded pages
Memoirs of commitment
Nothing spared
Oh, to be bound
Adore a soul that much
To leave behind
Remnants of love
~~*~~

A Once upon a time tale
A courtyard in the trees
Young lovers reading sonnets
Passion and poetry
Transcribing their own versions
Of their authentic lusts
Reaching through time with 
The remnants of love

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
Each page is a fragment
Of the beauty's whole
Combine them to awe
Thee entire story told
Leaves you dreaming of...
Remnants of love
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Remnants of Love
Validation of two lives
And all they shared
Faded pages
Memoirs of commitment
Nothing spared
Oh, to be bound
Adore a soul that much
To leave behind
Remnants of love
~~*~~
