Fourty Six Years Ago

As the misty fog rises in the hollow
In the cool still hours of early morn
Thoughts of you rise in my heart
Those memories of the loving kind

Memories of a fall of years ago
When times were very hard
Observing you hobbling around the yard
Both of us with love that was in full charge

As I watch the pale colors on the horizon
With a red sleepy sun rising through the trees
Shilouetting them more plainly for all eyes to see

The memory is more shilouetted hidden within dark
Recesses of the mind
Put away for safe keeping so that love can rise again
The sun now has changed to dark gold 

I hope our love that was birthed
Is now golden and filled with loving mirth
