Memories, Of Majestic And Wild Ride
Forever and defying black storms at play,
no longer young and full of zeal.
Seeking first the lost joy in each day,
the old man sometimes got his thrill.
Sunrise toasted heart and stirred Love,
a beam of Hope deep within his mind.
Softened calls from the morning dove,
served to set him aglow and then remind.
He could no longer hold onto the dead,
she that fired his spirit and Soul.
Yet always, he remembers words she said,
how Time raced with its goal and toll.
Thoughts on life to be actively loved,
gave energy for his passionate flight.
Each sunny day hit him hard and shoved,
imagined beauties visiting him each night.
Yet always, this memory haunted his mind,
how darling wife said , Yes forever I do!
And how he cried deeply replying in kind.
They together each morn their love renew!
Forever and defying black storms at play,
no longer young and full of zeal.
Seeking first the lost joy in each day,
the old man sometimes got his thrill.
