SOMEDAY


Rose petals laying on the ground

Fallen from a love long ago

The red turning brown

Innocence long forgotten

Brown eyes still sparkling

Dreams of soft skin held

In welcoming arms

Everything new

Is it the exploration missed

Or something simpler

I have grown older

But you are always remembered

The smile that never leaves

Words of youth

Imagining the future

Tomorrow keeps coming without end

Your long hair flowing

Through loving fingers

Summers and the ocean

Rain in the winter

We see them come and leave

To hold your hand

One more time

Someday I will know you again
