Reverie

Reverie

Funny how a song can spark a memory
A long-forgotten moment lost in time,
You hear a few bars of some old melody
And there it is, that moment, a special time

We were younger then, we had it all
The future stretched out before us
Ours to grasp, ours to write our story on,
No thoughts of growing old…

Live for the moment, that was our mantra,
Sadly, our youthful moments have passed.
We spend our lives now in reverie
memories sparked by some old song

I'm past my sell by date but still going strong, I love reading, gardening, writing and sketching, I live in a very small fishing town and love it. I was born in Coventry but city life was never for me, I have lived in lots of different places, but I am finally settled here (much to the relief of my husband)
