Maiden of the Mist


	Maiden of the Mist When I see a young couple in love my mind can’t help but return, To the long ago days of my youth when the word love, I was about to learn. Her beauty captured my sight her image I couldn’t let go, My heart beat with a flutter for this girl I barely did know. But I was unsure of myself I knew not how to approach this maid, Even though every night in my dreams our future plans were already being laid. With her life she seemed quite happy and since I was not a part, I didn’t think she wanted to change and with me have a new start. Oh, how I wanted to hold her and be the next one she kissed, Though, I thought I was in love with a shadow or an elusive maiden of the mist. Yet, together we were meant to be by the Creator and Lord of all, As He brought us to each other He said “stand together, so you will not fall.” Many years have come and gone numerous trials have come and passed, And together, we are still because together we stood fast. Now trials have come anew more severe than any before, On us they have taken their toll and shaken us to our core. But, God’s word we must remember and put it at the top of our list, Together we must stand me and my elusive maiden of the mist. JRS © 1999 The "Okie" Poet All poems copyrighted ã1997-...
