We Were Very Young In Those Days
We were very young in those days
and refused to be set in our ways.
We both got on well from the outset
and were in our teens when we first met.
Love smote me as you caught my attention
and to go out with you was my intention.
Love took longer to have its way in you
but in time it worked in your heart too.
We worked very well with one another
a source of inspiration for each other.
Built up each others faith in the Lord
as we grew much closer together in God.
I saw a young couple in the park one day
flying a model plane in loves sweet way.
I was struck by the way they were declaring
their love to each other by this act of sharing.
I thought as I looked how good it must be
these simple mundane things in life are free.
When you have someone to share in the fun
they can be enjoyed just as they had done.
Then I was sent on an Outward Bound trip
and spent time reflecting upon our relationship.
Time thinking of the important things in life -
what the future might bring and about a wife.
We wrote letters and kept in touch that way
tentatively searching for some little give away.
Hoping that there was a chance for love to start
wishing to express the feelings of our heart.
Much was hidden between the written lines
as we searched each word for loves first signs.
Coded messages in tilted stamps were said
as many times each of the letters were read.
Too shy and not wanting to be revealed
love lay hidden between the lines concealed.
The signs were there to our searching eye
as new letters were sent and time went by.
Those letters were the beginning of our love
a relationship coming from heaven above.
A love which the Lord has greatly blessed
one which blossomed and withstood each test.
