Stairway Of Remember

~*Marge Tindal*~

On this stairway I ascend
reaching for old memories etched within
Each step a memory I would not have missed
just as the returning vision of our first kiss

Stepping lightly up the stairs
gingerly touching the memories we've shared
Not missing a footprint left behind
draped on the staircase of my mind

A look that held me in gazing mesmerize
lifting me to new heights, seen through your eyes
Knowing that each memory is a treasure
to count among the memoried pleasures

A hug from arms that did so enfold
this heart that needed to be told
someone cares for me and so
one more step up the staircase I go

A love that grew to hold me close
a love that I ... 'almost'
let slip away in a moment of indecision
and now ... it's the very next step I envision

As I ascend the stairway tonight
I thank our Father up above
for giving you the patience
waiting for me to come to you
with a foreverly kind of love

Now at the top of the memory chart
you stand at the doorway to my heart
When you knocked I let you in ...
never gonna be the same again

For loving you is just the greatest thing
this lady has ever known
and being loved by you
is the greatest treasure I'll ever own

So take my hand and walk with me
across the steps of eternity
This stairway holds the path of our dreams
to take us to foreverly~

*For Bill - inspired by Vicky's request for a 'remember' poem~

Marge - Cherished memories of true love capture perfectly in this piece.  Well done.  

I unfortunately have fallen down the stairway of love one to many times, and I can't remember a darn thing.  Actually, maybe that is a good thing.lol
