A hundred years from now will you dance on a pedestal with me,<\/span><\/p>\n

A slow waltz of lover’s lore I ask of you that all the world may see,<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, I’ve said a century because I know we will love forevermore,<\/span><\/p>\n

If I must I swear I will take a knee that I may ask of you or implore,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

High upon a pedestal made of quarried marble in the highest grade,<\/span><\/p>\n

Only musicians of fame will sit to play on instruments heaven made,<\/span><\/p>\n

Just for you my angel will be roses abloom in every color and scent,<\/span><\/p>\n

They’ll come from miles around to see the woman who’s heaven sent,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It seems I woke a century ago with you in my heart and my mind,<\/span><\/p>\n

I offer up my life to you and all the love a seeker of love can find,<\/span><\/p>\n

You are deep within my heart interlaced with all in me that’s good,<\/span><\/p>\n

Our love has been tested and proven as the test of time withstood,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ve known you my angel long before our eyes first met to know,<\/span><\/p>\n

I felt your lips on mine long before our first kiss so very long ago,<\/span><\/p>\n

Held you close in my dreams as I dreamed of love and only you,<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s a foreign thought to most but loving you I was designed to do,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At eleven I cuddled to a fireplace knowing I’d do it with you someday,<\/span><\/p>\n

So young but wanting to love an angel and feeling love pull my way,<\/span><\/p>\n

And that’s why I knew, I was actually stunned to see you standing there,<\/span><\/p>\n

Dreams I had as just a child was of an angel with long dark flowing hair,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your eyes twinkled like diamonds in the night as you smiled at me,<\/span><\/p>\n

I told you then that I’d marry you as other words seemed to flow free,<\/span><\/p>\n

Though thirteen you were the most beautiful creature I had ever seen,<\/span><\/p>\n

I would have taken you to kiss immediately but for my poor self esteem.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So many years have passed since the day of my angel’s reveal,<\/span><\/p>\n

The day I realized dreams of love and heaven can indeed be real,<\/span><\/p>\n

I knew you well before I met you because my heart already knew,<\/span><\/p>\n

And I knew the image of an angel when I first laid my eyes on you,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Was it love at first glance or was it recognition of predestined love,<\/span><\/p>\n

No matter how it occurred I know very well it’s both of the above,<\/span><\/p>\n

If I named the most beautiful things I’ve seen of our earth and our star,<\/span><\/p>\n

The list would pale next to you in my eyes for I once loved you from afar,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dance with me my angel in the moonlight of Texas that I may hold you,<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ll pull you close as each time we have danced but this time in full view,<\/span><\/p>\n

Your tender lips will know my kiss fore we exit the pedestal of our love,<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ll leave no love on the dance floor as I shout it loud to heaven above.<\/span><\/p>\n
