Subject(s): Memory
Do you ofttimes remember those bright days
When first you and I met and calmly talked?
The brightness of a noonday sun cast rays
Across our path as hand in hand we walked?
A rosebud ever so cautiously
Hid its head as though sleeping;
A winged sparrow sang a song to its mate
As we paused to listen with infinite feeling.
Even the leaves wafted gently by
As we sat 'neath a towering tree.
Nature in all its understanding glory
Seemed to sense the great love that was to be.
Ah . . . the birth of our romance!
The happiness of a moment we borrowed,
Little thinking of the many debts
We were to pay tomorrow!
