Would I

If life would leave today
and night drapes over me,
would I remember the pleasure
of loving you so free?

If my eyes would close
on a world so bright,
would I remember the pleasure
of you - a beautiful sight?

If my mind would grow dim
on the things I knew,
would I remember the pleasure
of sharing them with you?

If all these things would happen
and I shall be without,
would I remember the pleasure
of what love was all about?

Geroge, I don't think memories of love ever leave us. Hope they float with our souls to heaven when we die, but during our lifetime these memories keep us going through the tough times. A very thought-provoking poem! Love, Carolyn
