Notes About The Poem

Come Sit Awhile With Me

Come sit awhile with me
Love is a serenade of the soul
a harmony that never grows old.Quote ~ poets own
* * *
Won't you come and sit awhile with me
here beneath the weeping willow tree
Take a rest and let your mind be free
of pain, distress and anxiety.

The willow weeps to see true love part
and is a shelter for broken hearts
A safe haven of serenity
to restore shattered tranquility.

Come listen and hear the sweet birdsong
release the hurt you've felt for so long
Tears will help heal the sorrow and pain
allowing your heart to sing again.

One day it won't ever sting at all
only the tenderness you'll recall
For nothing is lovelier, it's true
than a love that meant so much to you.

Treasure the first whispered "I Love You"
Keep it near and dear, forever do
The melody of love's sweet refrain
worn like a beautiful golden chain.

If only shared kisses could be kept
they would overfill a treasure chest
Every one a precious diamond gem
part of the love that they represent.

Memories are truly heaven blessed
moments far too precious to forget 
Warming one's heart in so many ways
in beautiful dreams of yesterdays.

Another outstanding write Belle. Saw this in top 100 poem list. If we would note down all positive happenings of day in dairy, it would make a wonderful read later in life. Thanks for the inspiration. Have a great day ahead. Take care Rama

Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Sad to see the loss of memory that happens in the elderly. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara

This is so enchanting and tranquil, Belle. It's going straight into my FAVES... Just a thought: Do you ever enter poems like this in Brian Strand's 'Completely Your Choice' contests? I think that this poem, for example, would rate a podium win, possibly even the 1st place podium finish. ~ Just sayin' Write on! :) Gershon
