Poem; Think Of Me
“Think of me, think of me,
when the darkness bites,
Good night, sleep tight,
could you think of me in the morning light?
look for color, look for bright,
life is precious; find your joy,
I dream of being that scared little boy
think of me, think of me;
life is often a hard, cold fight,
but dark brings light
look for me in the darkest night.
think of me in the chaos,
could you think of me in the morning light?
getting older, feeling free
I love you in the morning breeze,
I’m no longer afraid to lose the words,
or gaze at Mars, or turn my head
from the evening stars.
I love the snow, and I bow to the wind.
My blue sky is always just around the bend,
waiting for me.”
— By Me
These verses are a breath of air and light. And what a nice surprise to discover that they were written by you. Thank you, what a treat on a dark and stormy evening. Ukulele, singing, poetry — waiting in anticipation for what comes next.
How lovely.
It appears you are Maria are both feeling poetic.
Your poem is a real treat.
Thank you for sharing
I love it! It distills so many of the themes you have written about on your blog down to a few very moving phrases.
Oh Jon – What a wonderful poem and photo to start this day!!!!
I will be 81 in March – and get up every morning happy to greet another day –
always something to be thankful for –
in spite of aches and pains——
Have a wonderful day!!!!!!

Lovely poem.
Love the line:s”No longer afraid to lose
the words.”
And
“My blue sky is always
just around
the bend
waiting for me.”
These lines encourage me has I look ahead to the difficulties of a new kind of bladder cancer treatment that I will be ongoing in a few days.
Each time, I’ll remember “my blue sky is around the bend waiting for me.”
