Reachin' Out to Capture A Moment


Oh Suzie,
I really did Love you;
I'm 100 per cent serious,
I wasn't just  messing around,
I was reachin' out to capture a moment.

but you weren't as serious about us;
you had lots of things going on
over 2000 miles away
on the other side of playing around.

Time is not on my side
when two hearts are separated by a deep blue sea
still I hope and pray
you found the joy of your life,
sadly, it wasn't me.

"Reachin' out to capture a moment"...a verse
from the song Wendy.

I can relate to this feeling James... distance builds no walls to corral emotion... nicely written

Love is seldom "six of one and a half dozen of the other".

How many puppies in a litter?

Loving Linny Jean is poetry.

Not many looked to "Wendy" for a philosophical message, but finding one as you did James and even correlating it with your fine poetry, sad as it may be, shines a light on your sentiments as a sweet reminisce.
