On Golden Ponds

Sail with me my darling!
Let’s ride on golden ponds,
Our summer times are ending
Winters far too long
Twilight years are mooring
Memories floating high,
Hand in hand we’ll travel
Through sunsets beyond the sky
Guided through every ripple 
Destiny in our eyes,
Love will always remember,
Years that had drifted by,
Boat rides will continue,
In tomorrow’s paradise,
There we’ll see the Loon birds,
Kiss our final goodbye,
We’ll ride this final journey,
As we start to wonder why,
All our beautiful memories
Never to say goodbye
Only to kiss eternity,
On golden ponds, we die.

A very good write, Wendy. Memories that are made from the heart or the hardest to let go when we loose someone we love. Thank you for reading my "Midst of Calamities". Hugs Eve

This is such a beautiful poem, Wendy. You have captured the emotional feelings that lovely music brings to mind along with the theme of the movie. Maybe Craig will find a way to judge the contest. 7 Hugs, Sandra
