Notes of Time

It begins with rhymes of child song The words live on forever long And so they hum in a peaceful way They’re still with me on this quiet day The Dead, the Beatles, and the Stones Made the music that moved my bones Drink and dance, yes, rock and roll These songs reside in my silent soul I hear those notes of yesteryears They move my eyes with muted tears The prettiest song was her heartbeat 'N to that tune I tap my feet So as I look down upon my Dear It’s her music I long to hear April 2018
