Notes About The Poem

Image result for pictures of older couples walking through a wood scene in springMy biological mother died, then my biological father, then the two parents who adopted me also passed. When Jesus calls me home, I'll be in God's home where His children belong with all of those who made their arrangements ahead of time. 

Remember When

Back when we would walk in the spring-green wood Holding hands, hearts joined only as lovers can Thoughts circle round those days in the deep wildwood Now aged, bent way past young adulthood Young love comes in glimpses in this lifespan Longing for Jesus' relief of my orphanhood

Dear Sara, your thoughts remind me of a hymn: ' There's a church in the valley by the wildwood, no lovelier spot in the dale. No place is so dear to my childhood, as the little brown church in the vale. ' So beautiful, indeed. Your words caress gently around me and my heart. Congratulations my dear friend, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

I remember the hymn, Brandy. I have sung it a few times myself. Tennessee Earnie Ford was one person who sang the hymn. I did think about that hymn when I was writing this one. Thanks for dropping by with the nice comment and congrats. Sara K
