I remember ocean strands A bucket full of silver sand A windy beach where sea gulls swoop The gentle sway of lazy sloop I remember swaying trees A hint of jasmine in the breeze The smell of earth in April rain The raindrops on a window pane I remember summer skies And pretty purple butterflies Filtered sunbeams dancing round The fallen leaves on forest ground A Maple dressed in crimson red Bright candles in a pumpkin head The geese that fly beyond our reach The smell of apples pear and peach I remember crystal flakes Deep snowy banks and frozen lakes Icicles that clink and chime The music of the winter time A snowflake landing on my sleeve The magic of a Christmas eve The stillness of a summer pond And stars we used to wish upon And now I watch my life just flow Through winter windows piled with snow And childhood memories fill my eyes With pretty purple butterflies For I remember seasons change The smell of earth in April rains The little joys that life bestows As surely as a garden grows Like the purring coo of mourning dove And comfort of a mother’s love ELizabeth Santos |

Yo dear Elizabeth, This poem works very well for me. This morning the Sea Gulls and Pigeons were fighting it out on the playground over some bird food one of my neighbor friends leaves for them every morning. Love Bobby |
