Oh! What a journey We have walked through fields of gold And stood beneath starry nights Moon dust in our eyes specks still glowing on our tongues And in our folds and creases Do you remember? The gardens at Montmartre And those courtyards where we stayed Oh! The memories The Seashore near Saints Maries I can almost feel her breeze Do you remember? The flower beds in Holland A quilt of many colors And the poppy fields Swaying in a summer breeze Under cloudy canopy We have seen the world You and I – through Vincent’s eyes Etched forever in our souls Now we come to rest Here! at the end of the road The shoes of Vincent Van Gogh ~~~ Author: Elaine George
