Raul Moreno Poet Quatrain

A Cruise of Dreams

It’s been a lonely journey,
Without you by my side.
I still cherish your memory,
That I’ve stored away inside.

You’re the love of my life,
The one my heart still loves.
My green eyed beauty,
That I’m so proud of.

It’s been thirty-seven years,
Since God has called you home.
And for thirty-seven years,
My heart has been alone.

On November 4th of 51,
My dear Nubbies was born.
Since August 25th of 71,
My heart still sadly mourns.

And on that distant day,
When Heaven opens its’ doors.
I’ll walk into Thy glory,
And be with my Lenore.

My tears will be of joy,
No more sadness they will stream.
And we will continue to sail,
Along a cruise of dreams.
