Listen to poem:
Firefly Memories
When you look back, remembering us,
The way we were – in faded photographs,
Yesterday’s dreams like pieces of a puzzle
Pressed into the heart and soul, erasing
Melancholy and doubt, replacing the fears
With tenderness and even, at times, tears…
When you look back, reminiscing – pondering
On yesterday, when our paths crossed –
At first, just stars in the night, reflecting the light
Who trembles with hope, eager for the wonder
Of a feeling, a recognition between two hearts,
Two souls who see the joy, the smile, the knowing…
That comes from the memories, the dreamy-eyed
Celebrations of what once was our life, our yesterday
Secreted just beneath the moments, glistening
Like fireflies on the summer night, whispering inside,
Revealing the moments who shine so bright, tell-tale
Signs that we knew more than we thought we knew…
Our hearts, just two hearts who knew the beautiful
That comes from loving unconditionally,
With a love that is like light – falling across shadows,
Reassuring, comforting and gentle – achingly sentimental
When I look back, I see us and remember – feel the beautiful
That comes from knowing we knew the truth,
Love like this is a gift from heaven – love like this is so very special
Thank you, honey… for so many memories!
I loved you then and I love you today… more than I ever did!
