Shall I Have Your Grace

If my hurt could be expressed in 100 years
If my love for you were simple with more cheers
Is it for you that I shed a lot of tears

Fiery passion is one thing I have missed
The aroma of your perfume or the taste of your lips
Connecting a presence with a future kiss

When apologies seem scanty please remember me with a trace
If I could turn the clock back, I would still miss you
My next gift to you is three dozen roses wrapped in yellow lace

If tries can be repeated I will try again with remorse
I say I apologize, if you only knew how much I love you
Is it by chance our hearts blend, our futures blend
While the love and beauty for one another again descends

Poetry is what is lost in translation.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
