Chris Green Poet Rhyme

Sunshine girl

~

Along a quiet river
by a lonely looking tree,
a meadowlark way up above
began to sing to me

It's song was so enchanting
that it sent my mind a whirl,
I grabbed a stone and skipped it
thinking bout that sunshine girl

Her kiss was sent from heaven
and her eyes were to adore,
her beauty took my breath away
I couldn't ask for more

My lucky stars were shining
and my feet were off the ground,
I hoped it was forever
with this angel I had found

When came the day she left me
as a tear my eye did send,
for in this moment, I could feel
my heart breaking again

But then I had to smile
as my inner self could see,
that if I hadn't met her
I'd not know what love could be

So, now I just go walking
thinking bout that past romance
and cannot stop believing 
I will get a second chance

But if that never happens
then right here is where I'll be,
along a quiet river
by a lonely looking tree

~

John Hamilton September 7, 2025 at 8:03 AM This is more than a simple poem, it is very moving, emotional and hopeful. Always a pleasure to read you Chris.

CayCay Godwin August 10, 2025 at 5:43 AM 'Don't stop believing, hold on to that feeling' - something like that. So sad and, to me, relatable. I know the weight of this feel and its ability to long endure. The pain, the question: is pain worth the memory gained and all the emotion that follows you everywhere. Despite the poem's emotional inensity, it's a thrill to read you. You make pain poetically lush. Poetry hugs ... CayCay Chris Green August 11, 2025 at 5:30 AM Thank you so much for this wonderful and humbling comment. I am thrilled you enjoyed this. You always make me smile when you visit my simple poems. Thank you again my friend
