....A Love of Mine!

There once was a day


Not so long ago


When we laughed in the rain


When we played in the snow


Where our dreams we had traveled


Beyond valleys so deep


Their passing forever


The memories we'd keep


The mountains, the meadows


The rivers intwined


The rainbows, through windows


And all of humankind....


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


....A love of mine!

John, I'm "smiling big" about this one! I love to glide to the happy places like this pleasing poem. In doing so, sometimes the dreary side vanishes for awhile. Until forever, if we make the right turn. I enjoy your writing and your comments. Thank you, sincerely. Lovingly, Dane

Somehow, dear John, this poem squeaked by me, and I've just not found it among the "Hot "poems today. So glad I didn't miss this charmer!! It is so lovely, a very touching and from the heart piece of writing that makes me smile with the sweet air about it!! Just beautiful and lasting! ~ Love, Carrie

Sometimes I wish I knew what to do with such memories ... I am glad you write them, for then I only have to read them. My friend, I thank for friendship, for the rights to read and speak of what I read, and for the courage to love this soluble remnant of a child ... hankering after your motivating words ... Continue to give your genius bloom, paint all petals with talent's richest dye. Love

The "rainbows of humankind" is a wonderful way to describe the gifts diversity brings to our culture. Where would we be without the beauty of rainbows? Perhaps a black-and-white world, devoid of creative colors. This is one for my favorites, John! Love to you, Carolyn

Hi John how are you my Brother and friend - Very beautiful poem - I just simply loved the rhyme, flow and message in this poem - quite wonderful poetry - John I'm going to ask you for prayer it looks like I'm getting a complete knee replacement on my right knee soon and maybe a left hip also though it does seem to be healing on its own, Praise God, It was good to hear from you and I hope that all is going well, YF4L - God Bless you John, MJ
