Just Remembering When




Just Remembering When



 So many memories
Await within the quiet of the night

Remembering When

I watch you sleep
Within the quiet of the night
So many years now passed
Since we first became man and wife
We have faced our lives together
Sharing both our joys and heavy loads
 
Just remembering when . . .
  
We were enthralled by the wonder of it all
When we first met . . . When love first came to call
We were young and yet we knew
That with each other dreams would come true
 
Just remembering when . . .
 
Reflections of our love
As I placed within your arms two brand new lives
I wiped your tears as you first looked within their eyes
Plain yet to see within my heart of memories
A Father's pride
As you first held our newborn daughter and our son
 
Just remembering when . . .
 
You held me up
When I could no longer stand on my own
You made me believe
That rejection was but a stepping stone
A chapter in my life when all I could do was cry
You made sure I did not feel so alone
 
Just remembering when . . .
 
I watch you sleep
Within the quiet of the night
Your day once again has been long
But for now you are alright
 
 I touch your cheek . . . Stroke your hair
Whisper to you how much I care

You won't remember
these many 'when's'
 
Tomorrow . . .

We'll find a way for this 'when' to end
A chapter closed for a new one to begin
Another time we've faced a dark shadows grin
To step beyond to one more joyous

Remember when? . . .

I love you Hersh
'Just Me'
 
 


Please keep Hersh in your positive
thoughts and prayers.
He has been facing a real uphill
battle for four years now with his health.

This picture taken at the beginning
of his journey
