Please, let me imagine that we will come here again In the warm springtime rain, or in cold winter chill, When the ground glistens clean, and keen in the sun When we breathe clouds of cotton and the morning is still We will wear our astonishment, with feigned awed surprise At the splendor that lays bare, as the frost stings our eyes We will wear wooly jackets to keep us snug warm While snowflake confetti will bounce off my nose ~ And you will be young, and I will be fair You will take my two hands, and pull me aside and kiss me and tell me how love never dies You will promise the sun, and the moon and the stars You will tell me you love me, that the world will be ours ~~~ We will look up through the tree tops, that whisper and bend To see sun assure us that love cannot end It will shine new with promise, with a soft velvet light That a day like today, will come once again For today is a gift, that comes from the Gods Filled with tomorrow, and a season of love While whipperwill music will dance through the air And the songs of the valley, will sway in the breeze In the hushed fading sunlight of the late afternoon Down by the meadows where the wild flowers grow We'll again laugh at the thunder, catching us by surprise And be glad for the raindrops, that splash by our side For today, has an ending, and now we must go But let me imagine, that we’ll come here again We will stand here together. We will marvel and praise You will be holding my hand, as you show me the way And you'll capture my heart, as you've captured my days And when the times we have treasured must come to an end We will marvel with pleasure, in our memory's glen We will come here together........and our spirits will blend This will be our forever.......you will be holding my hand ~~~ ______________________________________

Just wondering (I should stop trying) how you manage to come up with such gems on a regular basis...I'm lucky if I come up with one poem a month! Is there no end to your inspiration? (I HOPE not) Congratulation to my dear and cherished friend - Tim

Carrie, such a beautiful poem as I'm sure you are aware. Filled with dreamy imagery and visuals. You must certainly have been in "the zone" when this came to you. It's lovely and should well be a featured poem in your book if you are making one ... and if you aren't by now ... I don't have any idea why not. (loved your comment on "daring Denim" -lol ) (twelfth line in yours? or do I not understand it correctly?)
