Memories From a Younger Day

Moon over Miami, beneath the stars, Pulsars, quasars…and even Mars - Lovingly walking, talking, strumming guitars, A feeling, a moment that thrilled two hearts…ours. Snuggling, singing, while strolling along, Moon over Miami,” became our favorite song. Glittering light in the blackness of night Shimmering sparkles, a beautiful sight Delivering freedom, vanquishing fear Always knowing that your love was near. The forces of heaven bound beauty to earth. Uplifting our souls and giving rebirth - Sending strength at every length. Inspiring dreams beneath bright beams, “Moon Over Miami,” a song with lover’s themes. Whenever you are far, or whenever you are near, When I look in the sky, my memories hear, Your baritone voice floating on the salt air, My mind feels your presence, your essence is clear. The scent of your musk, I always hold dear. Moon over Miami I thank you today. You gave me those memories…from a younger day. © September 28, 2010 Dane Smith-Johnsen

Those are some great memories you have about growing up in South Florida, Dane Ann. There is a play called "Moon over Miami," but I've never seen or read it. This could work well in both Barbara and Deborah's contests. Best wishes for success and I hope you're feeling better now. Love, Carolyn
