Sing to Me a Lullaby

Sensory Poem

Smile at me like your eyes remember.

Recall the scents of past Decembers.

Hold my hand, just a little while.

Sing to me those old lullabies,

fore the taste of your kiss bids me goodbye.

    The opening two lines instantly reminds me of that song "Try To Remember", and I like the wistful, loving note this poem has:)

    Cathy When reading I pondered that unless made explicit by you the context and personal meaning are β€˜unkown.’. And of course that matters not ~ I felt a deep and beloved connection to your poem. How to choose a line that most speaks to me? β€˜Smile at me like your eyes remember.β€˜ Pauline 🌸
