Remembering Love

A lonely beach, a rising moon From the horizons edge below A mournful cry, a passing loon As crashing ocean waters flow. Now resting in a seaside chair And thinking of the years now gone Oh how I wish that you were here To stay with me until the dawn. To hold my hand, not say a word Let the peace of night draw near Some memories are never blurred When in the dark I called you dear. My feelings for you are not lost When once we spent our nights as one For a while our paths were crossed A gentle kiss, our love begun. Now in my final years I dream Once more your face I’ll see again In heaven your sweet smile will beam With all the love we shared back then.
