A Thousand Things And Nothing

 

 

 

A thousand things and nothing

can conjure up memories of you,

everything about you, before I could become your wife

and I'll remember them all for the rest of my life.

A joke you told, that made me laugh,

the two of us, taking a candlelit bath,

the times we tried with all our might,

to fly higher with our kites,

the way we raced down the road,

becoming ever more bold,

the way you looked when you'd barbeque our steaks,

the memories make my heart break.

The times we spent at the beach,

feeding seagulls just out of our reach,

the way you held my first granddaughter,

how you looked when you did your John Wayne saunter,

that look you had when you did something wrong,

the beautiful way you could sing any song,

the funny faces you'd suddenly make,

the memories make my heart break.

A thousand things and nothing,

can conjure up memories of you,

everything about you, before I could become your wife

and I'll remember them all for the rest of my life.

Thank you for the beautiful poem of love and memories. Sometime we need to remember the good moments and seek to have more new ones. I like the many examples of good times and life together. I like the ending to the excellent poem.
