THE JIGSAW

A jigsaw is just one piece
With hundreds of component parts,
All mixed to make a puzzle
Out of both our hearts.
We pieced together a future
From a few days in our own world,
All jumbled emotions and wonder
And how our love unfurled.
From that moment of landing
Small, hesitant steps from the flight,
Our jigsaw started forming
When you came into sight.
Your eyes, oh Lord your darling eyes
They seared a path to my heart,
Is this the girl from from faraway
To fill this aching void, a new start?
We had yearned for this moment
Yes, it was wonderful, pure bliss,
Your tiny hand held in mine
As you reached up for our first kiss.
The airport disappeared from view
As we were entranced by loves rays,
The jigsaw came together
We are still held tight in the daze.
The beginning of a love story
We stepped out into the night,
The jigsaw fitted snugly in passion
Everything feels so right.
A journey is just beginning
A path towards love blest,
We're bonded by our Celtic love knot
The union of east and west.
