A Modern Day Bo Peep

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep And I've lost my little old mind Been cruising along then all of a sudden Wham! You came up from behind Behind the great walls of secrecy Lost my ability to observe Like how our lives had gotten along Since life threw us both a curve We drifted apart without knowing why Sadly we each took different paths It matters not coz you're with me again In spirit oh so I did yearn To relive those days those halcyon days Days that were free of care I'm floating on air as I sing a love song It's more than my heart can bare Sadly time has changed many things From the sweetest times I recall But just to know that you love me still They're the sweetest words of all Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep And I've lost my little old mind

Such a lovely, tender poem Jack that is so well written. Very poignant too.The lines,’ I’m floating on air as I sing a love song’ ‘ It’s more than my heart can bear’ is so heartfelt. Very profound as you reminisce on days that have past. Love the lines,’ But just to know that you love me still’ ‘ They’re the sweetest words of all’. Just delightful. Really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing :)
