On A Journey To The Unknown

Just Collecting Dust
~ By Sue ~

As the sun starts going down
And darkness comes closer
My mind drifts back to the time
When you and I were together

I felt so much passion, as you held me
In your arms so snug and tight
As we sat that on the pond bank
Waiting for the fish to bite at night

I remember when you got a bite
You struggled hard to reel it in
Just as you got it to the band
It got away and took off again

You were as excited as a child
Jumping up and down with such joy
Just like a kid would always do
When they got a very special toy

There are no more days like that
All the fishing poles you bought me
Are collecting dust inside my garage
Just bringing back those memories

I picked out the ones I want to keep
And am getting rid of all the rest
I see no reason to keep any
But I’m keeping the ones I like best

Maybe, someday I will find someone
Who would want to go fishing with me
And wouldn’t care, if I caught them all
But instead, with me would share my joy

Yup....find someone who shares the things that you enjoy Sue. Hugs, Chris

Like you, Sweet Sue, I kept the good memories and threw away the bad ones!

May the fisherman of your dreams come  knocking at the door to your heart!
