A Century Has Past...

...A Century Has Past...


We met on a street

It was a long time ago

The year was 1803

You had a smile and decency
That I could not resist

And I will never forget

The way you were looking at me

We shook hands and spoke for a moment or two

Before I left

You asked if you could see me again
I said yes and you did every chance that you got

We became so much more than close friends

You were kind

You were smart

You were funny and strong

In the mind as well as the hands

As strong as they were

I knew they would never hurt me

Because you knew just what it meant to be a man

You took your time and kept a distance

Because you knew my respect and trust
Were two of the most important things

And if you earned them

You’d have my love
And a life of happiness

You wanted all the joy that would bring

We met with some friends
As we did so many times

But this one would turn out to be our last

You lose me that day

In a very tragic way

And we wouldn’t meet again until another century had past

We met in a store

It was a warm rainy day

The year was 1903

Time had changed us sure

As did everything else

But what didn’t change

Was the way you were looking at me

We picked up where we left off
More than a hundred years before

The way we felt about one other
Time could never change

We had a farm

We raised a family

A littler girl

She was yours

Soft blond hair full of curly little rings

We woke up

We starts our day

As we did so many others

But this one would turn out to be our last

We lost each other that day

In the most tragic way

And we wouldn’t meet again until another century had past

Another century has past

And I am writing this now

It is the last week of 2003

I know you are out there

I am searching for you

Are you somewhere searching for me

I get to have you in my life every one hundred years

How are we to know just how long it will last

When we get together

We get the gift of experiencing what true love really is

And we shouldn’t wait until another century has past
