A hundred years from now will you dance on a pedestal with me,

A slow waltz of lover’s lore I ask of you that all the world may see,

Yes, I’ve said a century because I know we will love forevermore,

If I must I swear I will take a knee that I may ask of you or implore,

High upon a pedestal made of quarried marble in the highest grade,

Only musicians of fame will sit to play on instruments heaven made,

Just for you my angel will be roses abloom in every color and scent,

They’ll come from miles around to see the woman who’s heaven sent,

It seems I woke a century ago with you in my heart and my mind,

I offer up my life to you and all the love a seeker of love can find,

You are deep within my heart interlaced with all in me that’s good,

Our love has been tested and proven as the test of time withstood,

I’ve known you my angel long before our eyes first met to know,

I felt your lips on mine long before our first kiss so very long ago,

Held you close in my dreams as I dreamed of love and only you,

It’s a foreign thought to most but loving you I was designed to do,

At eleven I cuddled to a fireplace knowing I’d do it with you someday,

So young but wanting to love an angel and feeling love pull my way,

And that’s why I knew, I was actually stunned to see you standing there,

Dreams I had as just a child was of an angel with long dark flowing hair,

Your eyes twinkled like diamonds in the night as you smiled at me,

I told you then that I’d marry you as other words seemed to flow free,

Though thirteen you were the most beautiful creature I had ever seen,

I would have taken you to kiss immediately but for my poor self esteem.

So many years have passed since the day of my angel’s reveal,

The day I realized dreams of love and heaven can indeed be real,

I knew you well before I met you because my heart already knew,

And I knew the image of an angel when I first laid my eyes on you,

Was it love at first glance or was it recognition of predestined love,

No matter how it occurred I know very well it’s both of the above,

If I named the most beautiful things I’ve seen of our earth and our star,

The list would pale next to you in my eyes for I once loved you from afar,

Dance with me my angel in the moonlight of Texas that I may hold you,

I’ll pull you close as each time we have danced but this time in full view,

Your tender lips will know my kiss fore we exit the pedestal of our love,

I’ll leave no love on the dance floor as I shout it loud to heaven above.

The end, by Pat for Patti.  I love you baby
