We Have Walked Along The River by Barbara Lynn Terry
We have walked along the river, With thoughts of serenity and ease, In the spring and the winter we'd shiver, Because of the soft cool breeze.
We have walked this river many times, During the night and when the sun did shine, We held each other's hand As we kicked our feet in the sand, Laughing, skipping and bouncing along, A day of ease and fun away from the throng.
We have sat there many times, Waiting for a bite on our fishing line, And didn't care if we caught a fish, As we sat, looking at the stars To make a wish.
Maybe I'm not "deep" enough, but unlike Fee, I didn't see this as depicting boy/girl love, but imagined my little sister and me,
with the lighthearted joy 2 little girls can share, skipping through their carefree lives together.
It's such a happy poem!

Touching and reflective look back and ahead at love's sweet tenderness.

Nostalgic to the nth is this lovely. The poet took a trip down that wonderful road of remembering and wrote about it in such a fantastic way. I loved it. Made me remember some days just like that.
This is a book of free verse poetry that addresses the seven main tests in life and offers some sensible solutions to passing those tests with minimal discomfort.
Perhaps "..Quiet Storm" will help rekindle old flames buried and long forgotten or express the love so deeply locked inside of your soul longing to be released.
Regardless of where you may be found in love this beautiful masterpiece can be
