Memories sweet memories,
Gathered close at hand,
Loving moments I see,
Brought from sea to land.

We walked the shores,
Holding hands, our arms wrapped,
About each other tightly,
Thoughts of the future enraptured.

You picked a Lotus for me,
Slipping it behind my ear,
Water dripping down my face,
You spoke words of love so dear.

Happiness constantly filled my world,
With you there is nothing but glee,
Spontaneous actions and laughter,
Bound by love chains yet ever free.

Sitting next to the water's edge,
A fan made from a large frond,
Hiding beneath the leafy green,
A stolen kiss to which I respond.

A chorus of song by nature's creatures,
Frogs large and small eagerly sing,
Stars begin to sparkle in the distance,
A blanket of love the night brings.

Before me I stare at the memories,
Candles of Lotus beautiful and green,
Pewter frogs sitting silently as tho',
Waiting for a romantic night's scene.

I count the hours until I see you again,
Gingerly I stroke the memory's array,
Impatiently waiting for the evening,
Imagination rampant refuses to allay.

The closeness of you brings comfort,
The years have been gentle and kind,
Love only grows deeper and brighter,
When two hearts are forever entwined.
