Listen to poem:

Do You Ever Think of Me

Do you ever think of me,
though much time has passed and
we have not talked, we have not met?
Do you ever wonder how I am,
what I've done, where I've been?
Do you ever picture in your mind
how the years have changed my face,
lined my brow, slowed my pace?
I often think of you, as you were,
when I'm blue...how we two
would talk the night away then
greet the day with smiles and laughter --
ready to face the roads ahead,
crooked miles we'd walk alone --
but, after, waiting to relax again,
to smile once more, trusting that
we'd meet some time and talk all  day
with nothing changed that counts at all...
still all smiles, all hugs, all laughter.

four metal plates in my face I am smiling and love your write and they saved my eye after a brutal assault on the street seven years ago and today hardly feeling my right I smile crooked

I really enjoyed reading this thoughtful, introspective poem, Leo. Your thoughts echo some of mine as I think of long, lost friends. Excellent write, a 7!

Leo, After reading your amazing poetry: "Bill", "Perception", "Louisiana Bayou" & so many others, it does not surprise me you would relate to my "Rozaleah's Song"...Thank you for your beautiful words..this poem was very special to me, and I tend to write straight from the gut -so to speak -hence, my Rozaleah! Thank you! You give me the courage to put my poems out there for all to see and say "stuff" about! Scary sometimes buut so worth it when I read words from you and Vie and all the rest. XOXO
