To Karen: The Past Four Seasons Loving You!

The Past Four Seasons Loving You!
To Karen, My Lovely Wife (Written July 22, 2003)
From Tommy

Last winter a year ago in February,
We planted seeds of love.We tended it with care and affection.The open air and sunshine made us kids again!
Our soil of patience was sprinkled with much laughter.Our love began to slowly grow…And Valentine’s Day brought excitement and fun.
Our love life had begun!

Then came Spring and we were on our Pilgrimage of Love.During our journey, we walked hand in hand…Sometimes, through fields of happiness,
And sometimes not.But joy and happiness were always present.
We discovered the uncertainties of tomorrow,
But our lives went on…no matter what occurred.
We knew our love was special and we would never part.

Even though at times, we were temporarily apart,
We knew that it was only for a little while.
We knew our destiny.Last Spring brought us much charm.
The nights were long,But we had much fun and laughed a lot.
We never got bored.
We listened and learned a lot about each other.

Then Summer appeared.
Last Summer brought great expectations.We were alive with hope and excitement.
The coming months got better and better.
Summer brought the best out of us!
We traveled. We played. We loved.
We saw each other in just about every circumstance.
Our lives soared with fruits of love and passion!
As the Fall began to follow the summer,
The countryside was covered with beautiful, colorful foliage.Summer was gone, but we were not alone.
We continued our love journey even on the phone.
We did everything to be together.
It was meant to be!Darling, you know that you are the only one for me.
Our love will never cease.

Soon Winter was nearby…
And coming on strong.
At first, Winter started out on a gentle note.Hand in hand we walked so many times.
You made my heart ring out with chimes!
During the Winter months, your emerald green eyesSeemed to say, “Let’s rest by the fireplace and snuggle up with warmth.”
Night after night, day after day, I felt engulfed with the flames of your heart.
Winter did not go away quickly.
It stayed around much longer than expected.
The month of December brought many celebrations.We loved. We wrote. We made some New Year’s resolutions.The Winter months brought trust, care, and undying dedication.February came again. This time we were off to London.
The whole world was busy around us, but we knew
That our best years were ahead of us. We do enjoy the fruits of our love!

Our seeds of love have been sown.
We are not alone.
Over the past year, we have truly grown.
Now, Spring is here again.
Flowers are everywhere.
We still snuggle up together as often as possible. Sometimes I dream. You tell me I talk in my sleep.
Maybe, it’s because I eat too much ice cream!

We will never stop loving each another!
We have commitment.
We have something that everybody wants…
And needs!
We have hope.
We have faith. We have love!
Someday people will say,
“We have never seen anyone love like this.”
