Notes About The Poem

Within Always

Remembering the feeling inside.
Happiness, calm, safety and light.
Amid every sense, so clear.
Simply a moment, with you being here.

Looking deeply into sweet memory.
Positivity, awe, warmth and joy.
Completely still, thoughts vanish.
Only a presence in time, I see flourish.

Feeling the gift of your life with me.
Gratitude, peace, knowing and free.
Surrounded by a smile, most kind.
Always flowing, like a river in my mind.

I am very glad you appreciate it. That is exactly the feeling of warm timelessness that I was trying to describe. You too!

Thank you very much. I wrote it for my Great Uncle Austin Paulnack who is 85 and always says "Life goes on, like a flowing river." I am happy you read it and liked it.
