BOOKENDS, by                    
First Line: Between the bookends / of my heart
Last Line: Of my heart ...


Between the bookends
Of my heart
I keep the stories of our love ...

The one that tells of that first night
When we knew each sweet surrender ...
Sang our song of love
And found such comfort
In the silent wisdom of the stars ...

The one that tells of your farewell ...
(I realize now how wise you were
Not to tie me down
But to leave our love unspoiled)

And so
I treasure dearly the stories
Between the bookends
Of my heart ...
