Frederic Parker Poet Lyric

Pastel Reflections

As each morning goes, I shall remember you,
when life was beautiful and simply unvarnished

I shall remember you when each day unwinds,
with memories of dances among our garden's flowers
As we became lovers through twlight

I shall remember you in each season
when the sunsets change a rainbow's hue
and kisses caused time to slowly still

I shall remember you in times of laughter
when every smile was quickly caught
then woven into baskets filled with love

I shall remember you in quiet gentleness
holding every fiber of life until you left
still holding my hand

I shall remember you each time I cry in the darkness
and open my soul to let your memory breathe
as the days turn to tomorrow and yesterdays wane

As each morning goes, and each day unwinds
I'll remember you
When life was beautiful and unvarnished
when we knew only love

I'll remember you, I'll remember you

Andrea Dietrich June 30, 2015 at 1:04 PM Utterly beautiful!!! I have not even heard that song yet. I get a bit melancholy working hard at difficult challenges like this kind and maybe not even getting a spot on the winner list! I've been doing a lot of the easier ones while I am here on my little vacation in Kentucky.

Hello There June 28, 2015 at 11:19 PM A song of life, of love forever alive - so much more than a memory ~ a beautiful "Pastel Reflection"!! Good luck in the contest!
