My Poetry

Time, So Precious

1986
This was my first serious poem. I wrote it for my first real crush. How naive and optimistic I was back then.





As the seasons pass, and time travels on;
a sad song, can always say it all.

In with Summer, out with Spring;
trying hard, to grasp onto precious time.

When Summer came, I fell in love;
how it happened, I'll never know.

But, I hope I will always remember these things;
as precious time travels on.

You're so wonderful;
fair, black, curly hair.

You're so beautiful;
freckles, dotted on your face.

You're so astounding;
your voice, like a whisper in the wind.

You're so kind;
your soft, gentle touch.

And so breathtaking;
soft, brown, penetrating eyes, a smile that brightens the day.

But, every fairy tale must have some sadness;
no matter how much we might love or cherish.

While seasons change, so will you;
school lets out and our love is through.

But I will always remember these times we've had;
and that first Summer day I fell in love.
