The grey is only in our hair.
I take your hand,
as we walk toward the dance floor.
I spin you round as I've done so many times.
Life now tempered, but I couldn't have asked for anything more.
Our years don't tell, when we kiss.
It's like the first, but I've often been remiss,
to keep that from you, as pride often got in the way.
Your presence gives me meaning,
and a permanent sway.
The misty eyes, from the first day till now,
expressions of love through unmapped roads.
Intrepid hand clasping yours when I could steal a chance.
To borrow from your strength then,
and now, as we share this dance.
Spinning round and seeing all the faces,
from those that we know, to the one we know most.
Silently you ask, "Are you all right?"
I swallow the fear and joy that's within.
"I'm fine, just feeling really happy tonight."
"He makes her happy, don't you see?"
"I know, that's why I'm amazed."
I think, the little girl has grown to someone who,
could be so strong and love, like you do.
"Your a good man, she's learned from you."
All of my past doubts, are now wiped clean.
Glancing slowly across the blur,
seeing her, as we were, once before.
Someone who instils the secured love,
that I was so proud of back then.
She's found that strength, in someone new.
"I hope I've done all that I could do."
"You have my dear man, don't you see?"
"See what?", I ask from this vision.
That the strength my love held,
is now renewed and equally bold?
"You're so simple sometimes, you know?"
I smile now, as I've done so many times before.
To hide behind the love they bring out in me.
I know only one thing, and it's easy to concede.
That being strong doesn't mean what you hold,
but by that which you are able to release.
And in my loves arms, I relinquish all past worries,
of what I couldn't control, no matter how I tried.
Our daughter had her own ending to this part of the story.
"We helped her to be this strong.
To live and love, as she does.
She's strong enough to see her way,
through the same roads,
that brought us here today."
And from the beginning,
to this day, it was simply mine to enjoy.
A small part of this great mystery,
love, the sweetest of life's symphonies.
Ask me now, what I would change?
Not a thing I can think of, except.
A little more of this feeling,
The wine, or your smile from which I'm reeling.
As I turn you round and take you for a dip,
my arm around your waist.
My eyes meet yours, but now secure,
responding easily for what I beckon for.
The steady gaze to let me know,
that you are mine forever more.
No unsteady, intrepid hold.
The prince, our girl now beholds.
The man I was once, and will be no more.
To answer all her doubts, do I still do that for you?
"You're still the boy I feel in love with dear."
She's always known what I needed to hear.
