Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

At Remic Rapids

this was the spot
where we’d come
i’d shoot photos of
the golden glitter
as waves ran down
the river bank

this was the spot
where we’d come
we’d just sit and
watch the sun as it set
we were together
seemed we hadn’t
a care in the world

this was the spot
where we’d come
so again today
the sun faithful
is at the rendezvous
but this time
with family and friends
gathered
by the river of life
with heavy hearts
we bid you fond farewell

this was the spot
where we’d come
goodbye, my love
goodbye
