Acquainted With You Poem by Gerry Legister

I had the dream of romance on my mind,
to light the flame and make the best of time
warm each other's heart and taste the wine.

I have been acquainted with you for one night
Not bright by moonlight nor a candle to-light
The romance that could be brighter than the night.

I am acquainted with you and the discomfort of pain
And what the unpleasant emotions have tried to gain.
Memories leaving the ache, sore and prickled pain.

I am intimately acquainted with you like a glue
I pray that this poem blesses you and encouraged you
And become acquainted with all the ways within you.

We got acquainted when we were young and alone
We got acquainted when I gave you a ride home
Acquainted when bad times came, and we stood firm
