MEMORIES I miss you today. And feeling so blue; The singing of the birds Reminds me of you. The warm gentle breeze, The scents of the lilies, The roses, the jasmines Bring sweet memories. The grapes in the vines, The fruits in the trees, Spread before me A cornucopia of memories. The apples, the blueberries, The pears, the cherries Invite me to A banquet of memories. The rustling grass, The tall green trees Whisper softly in the wind Of loving memories. The gentle summer rain, The babbling brooks and eddies, Break forth into A symphony of memories. From the mountain peaks To the fertile valleys Reverberate gently The echos of memories The sun, the moon, The stars of the galaxies Speak eloquently Of precious memories. The playful little kittens, The antics of puppies Fill up to the brim A caldron of memories. The songs of the robins, The wrens, the chickadees Permeate the air with A rhapsody of memories. The rainbow in the clouds, The flowers in colorful varieties Transform my world into A kaleidoscope of memories. The creaking of the old house, The quilts flapping in the breeze Announce the marching of A retinue of memories. The calls of the whippoorwills Nature's twilight melodies Punctuate the day with A litany of memories.
