Reminiscing By Paul Wilson I remember the time that we first met You had a new bike it was blue and red Mine was a hand me down with a bad chain My name was J.T. yours T.J. you said We became best friends from that first day on Riding bikes and playing games everyday We built a tree house and called it our camp It was our secret place where we would play All thru school we would challenge each other If you made the honor roll I would too In sports we would play with all of our heart I always tried to be better than you You and I would always help each other When one of our backs was against the wall We did our best… each challenge we would meet To you my best friend… I would give my all That fateful night I will never forget We were taking a ride in your new car Just two guys cruising the local hot spots Showing it off… we hadn’t driven far The first thing I saw was the bright head lights The last thing I heard was the squealing brakes An angel from heaven came down that night To take one of us home now my heartaches I love the times I sit and talk to you Reminiscing about the good old days Relieving the time we spent together Before we had to go our separate ways ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Paul, this was such a tenderly sad poem -- I lost several friends, one after another, when I was about that age -- I, too, believe they are there for me still.  |

I know this feeling very well, I too lost my best friend in an auto accident when I was at a very impressionable age. God knows it took me a very long time to get over the pain and relive the good times again. My heart goes out to you my friend.  |

iliana...I guess I should have said this is just a fictional story for me. I never had to go thru this terrible ordeal. Thanks for taking time to read & reply...Paul Nancy...Glad you like my sig line, Before it was so small no one could read it. Thanks for the help. Thanks for your sweet reply...Paul Greeneyes...Glad you could recall some of your happy memories. Thanks for the read and reply...Paul Jeffery...Like I told iliana, this is only fictional for me. Many people have lived it and to them I say stay strong. Thanks for reading and replying...Paul pictureme...You are so right no one can take away our memories. Hold on the the good one's you have. Thanks for reading and your reply. passing shadows...Glad you enjoyed.Thanks for taking time to read and reply...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

JL...Nice to hear from you my friend. Thanks for reading this little bit of fiction. Glad you enjoyed. The old Gulf is kicking up this morning. Thanks for the reply...Paul Kristabell...Most poems really do originate from the heart like you said but I also write from my imagination and try to feel what others might feel in certain circumstances. I really appreciate you taking time to read & reply. Thanks...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |
