Forget Me Not

Forget me not when day is done
as darkness falls with setting sun
and April moon is on the rise
reflecting midnight’s soft reprise.
And when you crawl into your bed
and ‘pon your pillow lay your head,
please think of me as sleep arrives
for in my dreams a longing thrives.

My distant whispers call your name;
my love for you my words proclaim
as stardust rains from up above,
and beckons you to share this love.
I wonder if you think of me
as peaceful slumber sets you free
when darkness falls with setting sun,
forget me not when day is done.

Your thoughts curl softly around me, like a beautiful melody. So tender and sweet. "forget me not when day is done." Such a moment doesn't exist, when love between two is so strong. I'm holding your words close, my dear friend. I wish to place this in my favorites. Because. . . Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Perhaps these lines would make a nice song if only I were a composer. Thank you for your sweet comments, Brandy, and placing this in your favorites. I appreciate your support so much. Hugs, John
