THAT I SHALL REMEMBER

THE FLAME OF LOVE

THAT ONCE WAS SHARED

NOW SEEMS BUT AN EMBER

BUT THE JOY AND AFFECTION

THE LAUGHTER AND LOVE

IT IS THAT I SHALL REMEMBER

SOME DAYS WERE LIKE THE FIRST OF SPRING

WHILE OTHERS BLEAK AS DECEMBER

BUT IT WILL BE THAT FIRST STOLEN KISS

IT IS THAT I SHALL REMEMBER

ON THE LONG DAYS ALONE

AND THE ENDLESS NIGHTS

THAT  TEST ALL OF A MANS TIMBRE

I MUST NOT FORGET THOSE DAYS SO BRIGHT

FOR ONLY THAT I SHALL REMEMBER

LILLIES

I OFTEN THINK OF LILLIE'S THAT WERE PLANTED

BY MY GRANDMOTHER EACH SPRING

THEY SEEMED TO ALWAYS REACH FOR THE SUN

THEY WERE EVERYWHERE; THESE BEAUTIFUL THINGS

AND EACH YEAR THEY RETURNED WITHOUT FAIL

YET NEVER 2 SEEMED QUITE THE SAME

BUT THEIR BEAUTY SEEMED TO ONLY INCREASE

AS NATURE DOES LEFT UNTAMED

AT RARE MOMENTS OF REFLECTION

I THINK OF HER AND THE BLOOMS GALORE

AND I REACH FOR HER IN THE FADING SUNLIGHT

LIKE HER LILLIE'S THAT BLOOM FOREVER MORE
