To My Children... Samantha Lee (10 years old) and Alexander Caleb ( five years old). I'll always remember the day it rained but I will always wait for us. I love you. Mommy A Little Fall Lilac seems to be embracing the air we breathe Can even witness the green grass obsessing ground Forgive me, though I stand here on the edge of summer That a hint of bitter cold can be found... I'm in the middle of trying to watch summer dance Yet, caught between hell and losing my mind I can sense a little of fall coming on And, I'm just confused of the seasons this time... For, every time the leaves decided to grace all land That's when heartache made it's strongest stand Oh, I feel a memory sending me to my knees How amazing a little fall could separate you and me... Somehow I'm missing the extremes of the sun Perhaps numb to any warmth on my skin But, when the rain brought along an October's chill I fell short of what season I'm in... That little bit of fall left a hint of good-bye That this summer couldn't seem to embrace And, even though the morning birds sing a new tune I hear a little fall in this place... So, I'm going down I can surely tell To the ground I've learned to wear so well So, understand if I must slowly crawl As these tears they take a little fall... Sauni:)The Only Time I See The Sun Is When I'm Within That Vanilla Breeze.The Only Time I'm One With The Sun Is When He Shelters Me From The Rain. L.S |

Hello Saunni I can't believe no one has commented on this beautiful, yet sad piece of writing. Your children must be so very proud of you. Thank you for sharing your soul with us. Take care.....Sue I am in motion |

Hugs to you. BTW, I still have those pictures, in my memory, if not on this PC. Sweet summer thoughts, peaceful dreams to you. Even when you walk within the cool mists, you know where the warmth resides.  |

First click I did just now, and it's your poem I opened. And such a lovely one, I'm glad I did. Fall is one of my fav'rite seasons, with the riot of colors one can see on trees. |
