Souvenir
She is sunrise and forgiveness,
she embraces the waiting hours
with the promised kiss of springtime
that resides within her smile.
She came in on a sunbeam
surrounded by a song
to restore my soul and give me hope
with the magic in her fingers
and the radiance of her heart.
She resides in sweet fulfillment
of the dream I dared not dream.
Now she shines on my tomorrows,
born of all our yesterdays,
the years I spent in wonder
just looking at her face.
So, I’ll spend a sweet forever
singing of her grace
from noon until November
in words no one can erase.
She’ll shine into the starlight
and rest in promised peace,
freed from all pain and sorrow
in endless, strong release.
Then, I’ll know I’ve found the answer
to my longing and my love,
and I’ll make my long goodbyes
to the glory of her memory
and her legend in the skies.
Christopher M. Swan 2010
