Sunlite Wanter Poet Sonnet

A Night To Remember

In another time when big bands flourished,
And dancing was hugging set to music,
The stars were twinkling o’er outdoor porches,
Glenn Miller was playing his Serenade.

You whispered those words I so longed to hear.
It was too late, you had waited too long.
My heart had turned cold in the delaying.
“I love you” was flat, those feelings were gone.

Time whisked away, and though I was lonely,
Life was as pleasant as young life could be.
Tho as fate would have, I met another,
You always danced sweet in my memories.

I smile, recall that night to remember
Sad “goodbyes” neath a moon in December.
