Poem
The breeze suddenly came upon The deserted worn seat Moving ever so slightly As if we were there again… It was a summer afternoon You looked so pretty in your pink top You had set lemonade for two As my thoughts wandered and wouldn’t stop Your hand gently touched mine And I trembled, nervous, but so happy We were young and so naïve That was a time that meant so much to me We spoke the better part of the day Until your mom called you for evening meal I wanted so much to stay and hoped That you felt what I was beginning to feel As that old porch swing is where it began I knew I loved you when you touched my hand I see us there right now, so wonderfully clear I see it darling, as if you were here Foot after foot, up your porch steps That evening after our very first date Hand in hand to that swing we had walked I had no concern if it was getting late I knew then and know now, the feelings inside They were strong, undeniably alive I can feel them with me here and now I carry you always, here inside As that old porch swing is where it began I knew I loved you when you touched my hand I see us there right now, so wonderfully clear I see it darling, as if you were here You may be gone, love, but know this true It’s your love I relive and of which I sing As I sit on this porch on this warm summer day You’re right next to me on our old porch swing
