Within starlit nights of days gone by,

back within those years of you and I,


I sit within the quiet chambers of my mind,

contemplating all the treasures that I find,


all the wonderful years you devoted to me,

all the pleasant times of laughter that I see,


and all those fond memories paint upon my face

 -- a smile,

an innermost smile that shall never fade away,

nor cease its smiling that smile of having known you,

within any ever of any never of my concept of forever's

any given day of come what will, come what may.


I have found my smile again!

And my smile is upturned comprised,

of infinity's endlessly fond memories

 -- of you


For you were always that only one for me,

that only one who put a smile upon my face,

for all the world to see: You and me,

within starlit nights of days gone by ...

If you can smile again after your loss and now look back and praise the time you had with your love and all she was to you, that tells me you are beginning to heal. A beautiful reflection Marve. Hope all is good with you.
