.
Maybe baby, I'll have you
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me

 

Buddy Holly

............................................

 

Can you return

to the place we once were

when love first shined

its fascinating face at you

maybe baby

that is all I know

when the grass was green

and we were carefree

where the world

was our oyster

and the glittering sun

never set on us

on the divine dreams

we cherished so

when you smiled at me

and I beamed back at you

I reminisce now

and see the ivy grow

on the garden wall

where we once sat

and giggled and laughed

whilst the blackbird sang

its melody and tune

now I turn again

and look back at the past

and I say silently within

Yes we can

You love music so much...you've gotta learn to add the perfect touch from that mental library of yours...I can hear Maybe Baby now! Much enjoyed!

The memories of youth and love are two of the strongest in our lifetimes. That first girl, first touch, first feel of soft skin and warm lips define what we will always remember of our youth and love, and I agree we can return if only in our dreams.

Sir Peter the Reminiscent ...

There is so much of what we coin the "good ole days" that I still yearn for. One of those things is the honesty and caring that friends, and family, and co-workers once exhibited towards one another.

Too many are pitted against each other these days because of jealousy and envy and misunderstanding.

It is a sad world that is evolving around us, but thank God that there is the hope of a brighter tomorrow, and that people with differences only need purpose in their hearts to drop a piece of themselves so they may embrace another.

Indeed ... "Yes we can!"

In fraternity ...

A backward glance, at a fine romance...and the music of Buddy Holly, is enough to make anybody believe!
