The Park

In a secluded park full of benches A boardwalk in the bushes isn't far It takes me into the wilderness Where quiet spaces are found I remember you singing I fell in love with your familiar voice Soothing me with the soft wind Comfort I needed, as if you returned As daisies swayed and birds sang too We found our beautiful song again To wipe away old tears Hold each other with no fears Sweet reminders now sealed In a park that is yours and mine Quiet places of understanding - Only we can find - Heidi Sands 9/20/19

Thanks for this Lover's memoir, Heidi. Wonderfully romantic lines of poetry throughout ... As daisies swayed and birds sang too. We found our beautiful song again. To wipe away old tears ... Hold each other with no fears. Pretty poetry indeed, my dear friend. Love and more love always.
