My Girl

With the girl I loved most in life

I walked in street lamps glow

Could she hear my heart calling

for the love I never show

 

Treading lightly along beside

her footprints marked the snow

The warmth of heart I felt for her

I doubt she will ever know

 

With the girl I loved most in life

I walked in street lamps glow

Oh if I could stop Earth turning

then she might never go

 

 

Tate Morgan 2008

Author's Note

A gem stone of my life every bit as precious as the eyes from which she views the world.

Oh, my. Tate. I don't know which is better, the poem or you Author's note. This is so touching. Lovely write friend!

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you I am as always a hopeless romantic

[Dr. Wood ?]

lovely Tate...AND I must say, a great song to accompany it.....A song written by Paul Simon as he sat in an English railway station...HOMESICK

[Tate Morgan]

Hi Doc Oh I can only imagine the feeling of that. I love trains and love riding them. And down the iron track that haunting sound of the lonesome whistle blows

[Dr. Wood ?]

anyone with a soul LOVES trains Tate.....The romance and adventure that they represent is irresistible

[Tate Morgan]

I agree they bring about thoughts of the old west the unsurmountable odds of manifest destiny.and the romance of going off to the great unknown in war.I guess it is the steam trains that are the most romantic. Remnants of the industrial revolution . They the bringers of progress that move in harmony on the outside of the engine .With the steady heart beat of the nation.

[Dr. Wood ?]

yes it's all true Tate..Not far from where I live just along the coast runs a steam train and it is NEVER empty of tourists

[Tate Morgan]

I bet Those were the days of the hopeless romantic.

[Ironbutt]

I lie the flow , very soothing....the feelings are underlined in this piece. Well done

[Tate Morgan]

Hi Iron thank you

[Sheila Kline]

A love as this never ends but kisses steps of every day and morrow as long as we breathe!! I had a love as this but he died in a tragic accident - shall always, always, always love him!! My first love, my forever love so I can relate to your longing dear Tate!!!
May her emerald eyes ever twinkle for you from the present and the beyond!!

[Tate Morgan]

thank you Sheila

[David Lewis Paget]

A sweet bit of nostalgia here, for a lost love. The earth does turn, time moves on, and so do we.

So very sad that she had to go, and you couldn't go with her.

Nicely captured, those fragments of fractured memory. I hope she knew.
