"Silly Me"


Celine Dion still makes me cry
Silly me.... don't know why

Could it be ..
that love flows free

When I hear her songs..
they're part of me..

A part of me..
that won't let go...

Of a love so strong..
I used to know..

A love my heart..
must now embrace

In my dreams...
still see her face..

Her soul yet by my side....
Oh !! .... the wonder of the ride

Once again her hand in mine
A touch upon her cheek..

Once again our souls entwined
Once again we seek...

A time together...for all time
A time for us .. to be  ...

Today I'll join her in sweet dream...
My love has set me free...

"Love can touch us one time ......and last for a lifetime"
"And never let go till..... we're gone."


To those who wonder, ... Sherry was a friend when I was very young
a friend I have remembered and a memory I have always cherished for 50 years now,
She was my first real love .... whom I adored,... but I was so bashful then I never really
told her so, ... I recall so many times back then when I would go out of my way to walk
by her apartment hoping to catch a glimpse of her outside, I usually didn't but that
didn't matter, it still made my heart beat a little faster, ... then one day her mom
drove her to my house,... she had come to say goodbye, ... she was moving to California.

After she drove away I recall feeling numb and I went into a hallway where I lived and
closed the door, ... sat on a step and cried and made a promise to myself that someday
I would find her  and tell her how much I cared for her then, ... and never forgot my promise.

I found her, ... and the poem above is the result.
