Poetry On Odyssey: The Perfect Night

"Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud" - 1 Corinthians 13
There are always ups and downs with love but in the end of it all, nothing is greater than the bond between two lovers

The Perfect night is with You.

It is with blankets and roses of white

A candlelit dinner under the moonlight

Our favorite song on the radio

Driving around with everywhere to go

Romance in the air is all we breathe

Almost like we're Adam and Eve

We fell once but never again

The perfect night is upon us

Between you, me and the God above

I don't have much to give other than my heart

It skips a beat when I see your walk

Your dress, your eyes, your voice when you talk

You shine brighter than the brightest star

Even when you're near you seem far

Ever so close in the blink of an eye

Your eyes open up like a clear sky

Staring in awe of what I see

You shine so brightly such as a sunrise on the sea

The Perfect night is without a trace

You standing there in that lace

Knowing the world is ours

Today and tomorrow and from dusk till dawn

Our lights will shine even when we're gone

You and I have lived so long it's about time I tell

Back when we first met my heart nearly fell

Back to the parts, we do not tell

Back when smiling covered my face

It would soon leave without a trace

Goodbyes and hellos are temporary

Yet apologies are necessary

Love lasts long while under the stars

No fancy clothes or fancy cars

Like that song on the radio was meant to be

Back when we used to be Adam and Eve

Gone but never forgotten is how love tends to be

Here one day and gone the next

Our love will never leave our nest

I would say more but history knows the rest

For you and I were meant to be

From today and tomorrow

Through all eternity

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
