190. What Made The Pain Worthwhile

Sitting quietly in my solitude,
I took up my picture of you
              into my hands.
And gazed deep into your eyes.
My remembrandts ran wild
With the evening wind through my open window
And I thought of all the pain in love’s gone-by’s.
I remembered how sorrowful the long nights
              used to be,
But what made the pain worth while--
I’d endure it all over again--
Is that out of this tragedy love had made
My once desolate life of chance,
Came the deep love through which
              I cherish you.
