The dogs are howling
And the sun sinks low
Here I sit just dreaming of you
With a smile and sigh
I rock in my chair
Can't forget memories of you
Times we started
Smiles we shared
Fond memories in my view
So I smile and sigh
About the good time
And I try to say goodbye
Rockin in my chair
As days pass me by
Wont someone sing me a lullaby
One day I know I'll find
Some dusty old chair
And dream in my mind
With a smile and sigh
Accept your goodbye
Rockin in my chair
I'll say to myself
The best thing was knowing you
I smile and I sigh
Dream of you every night
A prisoner of your love
Locked out of sight
With a smile and sigh
My fondest memories are of you

Hi Schmalz - I'm so glad that I've just discovered your so gorgeous eclectic presentations. *I've subscribed with pleasure to see what you may come up with next; I see that you haven't been in the VillageBucket for months. I'm not a writer as you are, just a retired legal professional; a simple storyteller to archive 'For the kids Someday.' I've just written my 1st poem "Llama & Koala"..it didn't flow out of me as yours seem to do so freely. I'm not into contests or self promotion. I just enjoy doing my own sketching and leading into my short stories that way. Nice to virtually meet you, Schmalz; is that a non gen-specific 'handle.' I will be scrolling through your offerings.
