Love’s in the Air…12-20-05

To watch him court her,

To watch her fall in love with him,

To see the tides rise and fall…

What is courting?…When two fall in love.

I can only tell you…The wonder of this.

What I have seen…And what I have understood,

From this side……The outside!

The forming of

True love’s

Life lines…………Spending time together.

The bonding

Of two minds……..Those rap sessions!

I enjoy seeing…….One who is so kind.

One

That possesses……Thank God for those parents!

A heart

With old-fashioned

Love………………Steady, purposeful, patient.

And the other

That responds…….The mysteries of ones heart.

At first in wonder…The first stirrings of love felt,

Then finally,

With firmly,

Set devotion………Heartand mind finally connecting.

The one,

Whose heart offered..The courter.

The one,

Whose heart

Responded………….The courtee.

The one whose mind

Constantly thought……The imagination it took.

The one whose mind

Changed………………Gently turning her gaze upon him.

Accepting a new family,

A new home,

And new ways………..In love, bonding with them.

This is what courting

Has shown.
