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.

like a snapshot caught in time. lovely reminiscence.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you It is a moment to be remembered when I am alone

[Abdul Aziz]

I loved the use of the same rhyme throughout the poem. It certainly lent an airy and somewhat wistful vibe to the poem, while maintaining the gravity. This is wonderfully written, quite succinct, and among my favorites! Thank you for sharing this poem.

[Tate Morgan]

Thanks Doc As always I am humbled by the learned opinion

[Lilly]

Such romantic beauty and heart in every word Tate.

Why don't you just tell her how you feel? Men? Nice ditty of a poem. I ask my wife quite frequently "Did I tell you I love you today"? She no matter what she replies "No" and I always retort "I love you today". Every couple she have their little flirty things.

[Tate Morgan]

Well this was so many years ago And I was but a boy of 17

[Michael G. Smith]
