Forget Me Not

Oh that you should come like a summer rain

It falls cool and gentle upon my face

Until the clouds again for sun make way

And the sky returns to larkspur and lace

There between my fingers the grass blades weave

By soft wings of butterflies the breeze came

There where the forget-me-nots bloom and plead

‘Don’t forget me’ - to you I say the same

By the cheerful voice of songbirds I hear

Melodies sweetened by love and sunshine

They remind me of nights when you were near

And mornings when you promised to be mine

Through fall, winter, and spring I dream of you,

And the burning bliss of the summer we knew
