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

Memories of so long ago are so precious to us, moments in your life that you want to last forever fade away and you wonder where did time go. Well written Belle. Tom

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
