I wrote this for my husband 26 years ago. for our first anniversary.
The Night of the Crowds Demise
To my husband with love
I remember it as though it were today.
The first time I looked in his eyes.
I remember the minute he walked through the door.
I remember the crowd’s demise.
I was sitting in the midst of friends.
Yet feeling all alone.
Not wanting to be where I was.
Not wanting to go home.
Music and laughter,
People prancing about.
A noise level so high,
You couldn’t hear a shout.
That’s when it happened.
He walked through the door.
Instantly he was all there was.
The crowd was no more.
The room was filled with silence.
My heart began to race.
He slowly turned his eyes my way.
Now we were face to face.
I knew within an instant.
As he gazed into my eyes,
Along with me he too would remember,
The night of the crowd’s demise.
A moment to remember,
The beginning of our love,
The night we received each other.
Our precious gift, from God above.
