This is What I Know to be Love

Pamela Winning

Where was I when you first found me?

I shunned you and sent you away

To keep to yourself and stay free.

I was miserable still, that day.

Much later, greyness diminished

And sunshine returned to my life.

We came back to things unfinished

Which grew to me being your wife.

Now married for so many years,

We’ve pulled through the thick and the thin;

Staying strong through all of our fears

And desperate times we’ve been in.

For each other, all things to share,

United with nothing to prove.

Friendship, respect, belief and care

This is what I know to be love.
