Notes About The Poem

Remembering

.                                            This morning I'm still smiling          . 
 .                                    from our words of love last night,           .
  .                               The thunder's cries could not outdo           .
   .                 The softly whispered shouts of "I love you."           .
  .                                                                                            .
 .                                   This afternoon a haunting tune               .
.                                    of love runs through my mind,                 .
 .                                   And weaves a simple tapestry                 .
  .                       Of life and love and you in harmony.                 .
   .                                                                                          .
  .                             When feelings get too big to fit                   .
 .	                               Inside the cage of words,                      .
.                       Although there are no words to say                       .
 .                    We go ahead and say them anyway.                       .
  .                                                                                             .
   .                       This evening I'm remembering                        .
  .                      the thoughts that filled my day;                         .
 .                    Inside my mind chorales unwind,                            .
.             The dissonance of life resolves to you.                             .
 .                                                                                               .
  .                           Tomorrow we can borrow                              .
   .                      just another day from God,                              .
  .                Adoring each brief joy it brings                                 .
 .   That someday we will be remembering                                     .

Kim Rodrigues March 26, 2020 at 3:20 PM The thunder's cries could not outdo/The softly whispered shouts of "I love you." - I love the contrast. John Watt March 26, 2020 at 6:34 PM Thank you, dear Kim, for noticing, and for leaving behind your thoughtful comment!

Sam Kauffman March 26, 2020 at 2:41 PM So tender, John. Beautiful flow from verse to verse. Wonderful phrasing - "when feelings get too big to fit" - love it! Love the journey through your day - so many can relate this experience. Romantic yet real! Congratulations dear friend! Blessing to you! John Watt March 26, 2020 at 6:38 PM Sam, thank you for the thoughtful read through and delightful comment. This was one of my first songs to my sweet Janet back in our third month of dating. Thankfully, we can look back on many joyful days to remember.

Brandy Nicole March 25, 2020 at 10:14 PM Moments of love, of life and of days caress the heart- the mind. This is beautiful, romantic and moving, all at the same time. The photo is of a couple in the rain. (Soft sigh) I love everything about the rain and its touch. You have created a masterpiece my sweet friend. Keep remembering the love. Each moment. ~ Brandy John Watt March 26, 2020 at 9:25 AM "Keep remembering the love". You do the same, dear friend. Thank you for spreading the kindness.
