My Age

This is my age...

I must admit that I am young indeed,
Perhaps one of the youngest accost you,
But it would be silly of you to bypass me,
Thinking of what the naivety of men cost you.

I awaited this day by grace...

I would be just the fool like those before me
To not witness the ray of strengths as it beams,
You inherited from the women who conceived
The woman before my eyes and in my dreams.

I stayed to say by face...

Sweetheart, my age does not portray my heart
Nor does it define to the character of every man;
No intimation in my eyes as I see a work of art
In you, a masterpiece created in the Lord's plan.

This is just my age...

Middle Twenties I may be but I believe in this,
Happiness, God, blind faith, and true love;
Ready to commit myself to you with all bliss,
You are older yet need inspiring just enough.

Fear not, but walk by faith...

You have been through so much, I understand,
And for someone this young to come so correct
May seem unorthodox in your eyes, unplanned,
But there is no limit to love and what to expect.

Tears drop, but talk too safe...

Sweetheart, my age does not portray my heart
Nor does it define to the character of every man;
No intimation in my eyes as I see a work of art
In you, a masterpiece created in the Lord's plan.

Amazing!

True. Age is not a measure of maturity sometimes. Some older men could think like 20 Years younger, give or take. I especially like the sublety coating the strong emotions you wanted to communicate to your woman. Adding Gods plan seem like He designed you for each other, making your intent more sincere and wholesome.

I concur. Very nice, balanced

I concur. Very nice, balanced piece of work. Enjoyed reading it very much - mainly because of your success in writing a love poem in such a calm, collected way. I felt like this allowed you to distil your emotion. The religious undertones were also expertly placed. Thanks for sharing.

up to the skies.
Thing like that drive me
out of my mind.

I watched it for a little while:
I love to watch things on TV." - Lou Reed
