Not a poem, or my typical write...simply feelings expressed We were dew on sun clouds painting friends Surrounding sci-fi adventures Like fireflies in the warmth of twilight Not one tomorrow was disappointing…then Global warming was our best friend Like the roof top where we strung cable access Together Push carting points of comics…early encounters Letting their story gradually reveal them Them, the action movies of our romance Current events were just beginning, with Smoky Robinson Our community provided subscriptions for United Way Going door to door, reading the novels of people in need Our species got to hang out at Dairy Queen McDonalds was just rising…tomorrow knew Shopping on Broadway was a 60 foot centerfold We viewed profiles of the blond bombshell and giggled You were a classical exhibit at Guggenheim We wore shoes by Carlos Santana And I…I had nothing in common with Feminists I loved it so when you opened the door of your GTO For me, always for me, extending your young hands I was your Damsel in Distress Learning how branches grew, then….. Remember our Junior Prom? You were so attentive! Loaning me your class ring…like it was the inaugural ball We’d watch that lava lamp, walking down the canal You loved antiques & collectibles, an illness kept you from Going to war…needles 3 x a day…and always Do you know how…? You turned my life around, like a military helicopter Along with photographs of tomorrow There were no snobs in our town…then Only tender embraces Evaluations helped guide our parents Car chase movies was the trend, led by candle glows You were the one thing I could always count on “Beyond the wall was our seminar” you used to say Offering hope from our troubled world…then We had no problems… Soft music and a warm kiss…life was laughing out loud When you asked for my hand in marriage We read tea leaves, desk top images and horoscopes Chanting something about…but can we love and embrace And admire tomorrow, being so lovable, probably! You loved me and still do, as I you We have a common bond…a sacred chart, an intimate friendship Which will and has already carried our smiles up a hill We broke each others hearts, forgave and forgave Watching for the signs…fireworks on the 4th of July Now my soul, my every being cries for you My heart is afraid to ask itself to even consider your tomorrow You kissed softly my life…singing a song of tomorrow Bringing us courage…keeping our heads held high I’ll never close the door behind us or let go We may miss the things we had, but we’re older and wiser Different lives, different times… The better kind of man you are, takes blessings to carry you We were The Love Story with a web site address Changing habits staying up late, catching Mars and Venus Inspiring heartfelt stories we could tell Oh the insights on our unabridged cassettes Growing in little one act plays Tossing away any circumstances Birth stories were and always will be our labor of Love With great visibility, Please save me a seat in your next life encounter Can someone be so kind as to give me advice? What do I say to our son? What do I tell him? For tomorrow is coming…will courage allow Jesus to work in His life…to carry on Tomorrow? God love you my friend…I still see your youthful face Your blond hair, compassion, your vulnerability But most of all, your truth, your sincerity, is the vigulance that Guided me…your truth, guided our trespasses And I’ll love your spirit for that…forever! I love you like a brother, father, sister, mother! Life really is short, and somehow, I have always felt, people should know, not guess, how you feel, and why you acted so, or felt as you did…. |

"We were dew on sun clouds painting friends" Lee from this beautiful opening line to all the memories of the treasures through years I remember.. you m'friend have penned a masterpiece! Such a treat this was to read..you took me back in time... and I wanted to stay there and for this piece never to end.
