 Our time seemed perfect from the start We felt it had been so long due The sort of time when hope springs high And all one's wishful dreams come true We met, we laughed, we reminisced And all the world seemed bright and fair With golden sunshine, singing birds Sweet scent of summer in the air But every lovely day must pass Each happy interlude must end Now the hours have slipped away And we must say farewell my friend Not knowing if in time to come We'll meet upon some distant shore Or if these few brief precious hours Will have to last for evermore I'm glad the gentle dusk is kind It hides the tears one can't explain A perfect day is over now And it will never come again... |

Ohhhhhhh, but it was a perfect day! How enticing, dear Katriona! A perfect day that made for an equally perfect poem. You captured the fulfillment, as well as the melancholy at the moment of parting so intensely. Love the picture, it suggests exactly what you have expressed. Love and hugs and wishes that you will meet again ... Margherita  |

Hi Margherita, This story is not about myself, but my mother. She was a young woman in London during the second world war where she met a Canadian soldier and they fell in love. Well, you know, distances were far in those days, she went back home to Scotland and he to Canada, they wrote for a while then grew apart, and she met my father instead a few years later. Thanks for reading and commenting and for your always sweet replies. Love Katriona :-) |
