A Walk On the Sand

We knew love together hand in hand.
Memories are still living.
With are walks upon the sand.

Seashells in a old wooden box.
The oceans spray.
A vanishing form down by the old 
docks.

A bottle without a message
comes in with the tide.
Try as I must this pain
I cannot hide.

That old lighthouse stands as
strong as should I.
The tide changes yet never does die.

This is such a heartfelt poem, John, I can't help but feel that I myself was walking along that sandy shore--beautiful imagery--just also wanted to point out a couple of typos in your poem "are" should be "our" and "apon" should be "upon---hope this helps :0 Also thank you so much for your inspiring comments on my poem, I feel so flattered with your kind comments--may you and your loved ones have a wonderful 2010!
