YEARS FLUTTER BY...










YEARS FLUTTER BY




I watched it, but I missed it
and it will never come again
I write because I love it
 I do now.. and way back then.
The words they come a'tumbling
I do not know from where
They pop in whene'er they want to
No matter what, without a care
I find it better to release them
For they are happy when I share..
Just three short years I've been here
sharing happy thoughts and sad
if you care to join and follow
I will try to make you glad.

JUST ONE MORE TIME...







JUST ONE MORE TIME...

Smiles all round 
as the wonderful notes of Moonlight Serenade
wafted across the courtyard
toes tapped, fingers too
as Patty played her favourite tune.
She seemed lost in time
as she sat with her newspaper, in the sun
her ever present notebook on her lap.
The music faded away and Patty slept
not responding to the lunch call.

"Not to worry, she can have it later..."

"Time for a cuppa, I'll wake her now..."

A gentle touch, then quiet tears
Patty clutched a photo of her and her sweetheart
dancing in uniform.
on her notebook, the words
'seventy years ago, please, just one more time'

Dance on, dear Patty, dance on forever...
