forever

should someone ask me my desire while gazing at the warming fire
I'd tell them that i want forever they would answer with a smile,
thinking me a silly child
"forever's a long time, you know, our time goes fast like melting snow."
forever is my only need, not silver strings with pearls and beads
forever held within your arms
forever living without harm
forever full, forever quenched
from this world i wont be wrenched
forever happy, cared, and loved
never hurt nor pushed nor shoved
forever held in mid-summers trance, forever to sing, forever to dance
eternal youth, forever strong
never to worry about time that's gone
"such a tale you tell my dear, listen close, make sure you hear.
don't ponder deep on time that's past
the keys to enjoy and make it last"
