In the Mood For Love Again

Imagine the rose in first bloom Nights of magic under the stars The sound of a love song Heard with the ears of the young Ever believing and trusting Mystic years I remember so well On the waves of passion we sailed Oh, the sound of his voice Devil he was, but oh,so delightful For now that time has passed Only memories of how it was Ready now to try for love once again Lay me down on grass green On my heart write your poetry Vanish all the pain of that other time Entreat me with promises sweet A bit of folly, so be it Grant me the feelings that I crave Awash in the smoke of autumn I stand bravely, ready to try again Now , before the night birds begin to sing

Dear Barbara, Indeed the young are "Ever believing and trusting." Wish we could recapture that feeling again, but life's pain often stands in the way. I hope you are happy and sharing love! Congratulations! Love, Carolyn
