Sweet Loving Memories
This perfect summer’s day
with the sky an azure blue
Sitting ‘neath an aged Oak
I hear the sweetest birdsong too
Vibrant leaves unblemished
emerge from winters sleep
Fragrant petals fresh and new
they also take a peep
Whilst sat upon this garden seat
It feels so nice in paradise
For now I'm living way up high
in my penthouse apartment
almost touching the sky
Spectacular views in every direction
the sea and the hills
How lucky am I
But sat now in this garden
treasured memories come to me
When grandkids they were young
I almost hear them laugh with glee
I close my eyes ~ in my mind’s eye
'tis them that I can see
On summer evenings you and I
with our favourite glass of wine
To catch the last rays of the sun
alfresco you and I would dine
But now you're gone true love of mine
and I live all alone
Watching the sea and stars and moon
Each day like flowers
they blossom and bloom
But on this sunny summers day
as I begin to drift away
our garden back then ~ so special to me
surrounded by auras of fragrance and beauty
and sweet loving memories how life used to be…
