Among My Souvenirs ~Marge Tindal~ 1999 Tucked away and treasured by this heart of mine, are souvenirs of you collected for a long, long time. The first promise you made, given in young love's first bloom. The rose pressed in the Bible, a verse, within it's petals loom. A football program, pages screaming VICTORY ! A dried corsage, lifeless now, but a memory from you to me. The class ring you gave when we first proclaimed to others the love that we were feeling ... a love like no other. The cards, the photographs, the poems scrawled in haste. The souvenirs of the love, that never went to waste. After all these years when I shared these keepers with you. You smiled and shook your head, then you said ... 'Is it any wonder I love you like I do !' The best souvenir you ever gave me, I wear within my heart. Love freely given ... I thank you for that part. You are the glue that keeps us together, with your thoughtful, loving ways. Thanks for the memories of loving you. I will ....... for always. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
