My Life's Song

There once was a little covered bridge
At a brook nearby when I was young
I’d travel there with a picnic
I wanted to be in some far away land
The brook carried my stories away
Now, the memories welded, remain
Watching the little fish swim…
Listening to my portable pink radio…
Sitting near the tall pine grove…
As if this covered bridge was mine
At least those days I went there,
It was in a way, for a short time
My location of peace, I’d pretend was home
Maybe now in memory, it has found its place
To be just that, as my mind rewinds and returns
To a pleasant vision that is never forgotten
And a brook that still sings my life’s song

A brook that sings life's song--excellent imagery of a beloved place-- voices the beauty of this poem. A FAVE for this splendid recall of memories.

It was a special place, with a little covered bridge to walk over the brook. Thank you so very much for pointing it out and considering it a Fave! That means a lot to me :)
