In Our Kingdom By The Sea

A poetic piece of paper
A picture therefore stands
Of lovers by the water
Who are tightly holding hands
The young man gazes softly
Into the woman's eyes
And then he smiles sweetly
To help her realize
The love he tries to show her
The love she cannot show
Lies gently behind searching eyes
Of one who longs to know
While standing by the water
The elements are sweet
The water rolling over stones
The wind propelling heat
The couple standing side by side
Embrace the ocean view
Inside them flutters faithfully
A feeling somewhat new
An artist could not capture
A more expressive scene
Nor could a poet try to recount
All that love can mean
In learning from this picture
The grandeur of love
Comes softly in the little moments
Sent from God above
