JUST TO WISH - romantic poems

JUST TO WISH

We returned to that old covered bridge,
Where as sweethearts we used to go.
To kiss, hug, and squeeze in the shadows,
While beneath us the river would flow.

Up under its wood roof of shingles,
Is where we took refuge from the rains.
Carved in some boards within that old bridge,
Side by side you’ll still find our names.

Our memories of our past childhood,
Are a gift from God for us to keep.
Like that picture you once gave me,
Which I peaked at before I could sleep.

We find ourselves back at that old bridge,
Only now, with our kids to catch fish.
We pray someday that they'll find love,
