Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay

 

S itting on the dock of the bay

I  was just remembering days gone by

T he times we spent near the river and sitting on the docks with you

T hose were the times that were the most special we ever shared

I  really enjoyed being by the water and walking in the woods nearby

N ot a day goes by that these distant memories don't come to my mind

G rieving over the bad times, sometimes I just take a walk to the river

 

O r more often, I find myself visiting the old creek on Matzinger Road

N ow and then, I sit upon the docks and just relax remonising over all

 

T he good times that we had together fishing & swimming with our kids

H ow I wish I could turn back the hands of time and bring you back

E verything could be better than it turned out to be, but that's just me

 

D eath took you in the prime of your life and it doesn't seem quite fair

O h, but life doesn't really play fair, now does it, this is the moment that

C ounts... Seems I am rambling on as I gaze out unto the sea

K eep smiling that is what you would have wanted me to do, I know...

 

O h darling, there once was a time I was so in love with you

F orever it seemed I always would be, now you are a fond memory

 

T he breeze is blowing gently through my long dark and graying hair

H igh winds are picking up I believe there may be a storm blowing in

E venings like this seem to captivate me and I am so in love once again

 

B eautiful is the river as she flows through this lonesome valley

A nother time, another place is where she takes me on my journey back to

Y ou...

I like this one. You never go off track by trying to keep to the acrostic, you keep it together nicely. I don't know how I feel about the line "Not a day goes by that these distant memories don't come to my mind". It seems that if it comes daily then it's not distant. But that's just me not being sure of the exact intention of your words. I really like this. It's good to look back and see something good. At the same time there is sorrow.
