Analysis of Longing Hearts Reunite
Tammie Swinehart 1974 (Mooresville, IN)
In shadows cast by time's gentle hand,
A reunion awaits, as destiny planned.
Long miles have parted, the days slipped away,
Yet within my heart, your memory stayed.
To you, who's been absent from my sight,
I offer a treasure of love's pure light.
Across the chasm of days and years,
I reach out with all that my heart holds dear.
Every whisper of laughter, every tear we've shared,
Moments once lived, now eternally cared.
In the tapestry of memories woven strong,
I offer it all, to where you belong.
Like a river's journey to the waiting sea,
My love flows boundless, unconditionally.
Though absence may linger, distance subside,
My heart's warmth for you won't ever hide.
From laughter's echo to the silence we know,
In this heartfelt gift, my affections will show.
Though time has passed, my devotion remains,
A treasure of feelings, unaltered by chains.
So as we embrace, after the hours apart,
Know that you've lived in my every heart's part.
Every piece of myself, I gladly bestow,
To the one I've missed, and cherish so.
