Forgotten Family

I have been there once before, Yet it can't be just a memory from my past, But only in my dreams and that I am sure. For it were, not only in my mind it would have last. So red and gold were the leaves of autumn, They are falling sweetly still or so it seems. A picture painted in my head, and yet so vivid. If I could feel it, would it still be called a dream? Their laughing faces fill my heart with happiness, And now all they seem to do is fight. How can I show them now what true love is?~ When I have tried and tried and tried with all my might.

Emily, this is so beautifully written. It is so bittersweet. It fills my heart with joy and sadness at the same time. Very, very touching and heart-felt. Keep writing, sweetie. Cynthia
