Reflections - Oct. 20, 2023

When first we met

You made me laugh 

With your silly response

To a question I asked.

From that time on

You kept a smile on my face

With the things you would do

And the things you would say.

Being around you

Was my greatest delight

You took out the darkness

And replaced it with light.

It was so long ago

But I remember it all

And the smiles still come

And the tears also fall.

Folks say, “Be glad that it happened,

Not sad that it’s gone”

But it's so much easier 

Said than done.

I smile at the memories

And tears fill my eyes

My face cannot hide it,

So it smiles, and it cries.
