Memories of Love still to come again

 
     I Remember…
(a song reflecting Life loved)
 
I remember…(whispered)
 
…Highlight events along adventure’s wondrous trace
Praise! Honor! Glory! Father! Spirit! Jesus’ sacred face!
His will for me to be right there present in Love’s place
Lucky! I! Experience life’s best within His holy Grace!
 
Early on the comfort warm of a Christian Mom and Dad
Shelter, good food, clean clothes, an education-offer glad
 
Clips in-between like Grandma’s house aroma-smells
 Christmas pine tree or summer flower-fragrant bluebells
 
Our quaint little town Main Street plus maybe one or two
Playmate friends aplenty create many of fun-times I knew
 
Reverence taught and sacred learned Sabbath and daily mass
One nun to teach each over-crowded room of a double-class
 
I remember…(whispered)
 
…Highlight events along adventure’s wondrous trace
Praise! Honor! Glory! Father! Spirit! Jesus’ sacred face!
His will for me to be right there present in Love’s place
Lucky! I! Experience life’s best within His holy Grace!
 
Favorites: The farm with animals and a fabulous old barn
So dark can’t see a hand before the face afore the early morn
 
A secret get-a-way Fox Lake with screened-porch clubhouse sublime
Three lakes to boat and fish, a young boy’s curious delicious time
 
And, bar-b-q so good I learned to appreciate “Gourmet!”
Constant party-time events led to adventure family-play
 
Learned, too, the value of doing any job the first time right
Hard-work and play virtue-reward like wild ducks “V”-flight
 
Honored-Love offered to the Lord commanded by His first three
Tolerance-respect to any fellow man His final seven please see
 
 
 
I remember…(whispered)
 
…Highlight events along adventure’s wondrous trace
Praise! Honor! Glory! Father! Spirit! Jesus’ sacred face!
His will for me to be right there present in Love’s place
Lucky! I! Experience life’s best within His holy Grace!
 
Time slips on by so slowly it flies away quite fast
A curious world of cowboy-horses suddenly has past
 
“Spring” in the air one day, my fancy turns to Love
My world has changed; I sight a beautiful white dove
 
“Don’t hurt yourself, Big Boy!” She cooed across the way
Auburn-haired beauty talked to me; I fell in love that day
 
Soon held her hand delicate, kissed tender lips soft-true
Young-love! Sweet love! A soulmate found, I surely knew
 
I remember…(whispered)
 
…Highlight events along adventure’s wondrous trace
Praise! Honor! Glory! Father! Spirit! Jesus’ sacred face!
His will for me to be right there present in Love’s place

Marriage came begetting the babe and I was very glad
Next to perfect angelic wife, the best thing I ever had
 
Soon followed by a clone, now Catherine and Rachel-girl
Begin again the never-ending story, give it one fine whirl
 
Better still! Our Adonis-handsome Z. Tyler-boy
Miss Lauren, Lexi, Anna Marie complete our joy
 
What next? Who knows! Thy perfect will be done…
If I might wake I’ll true enjoy it all under His Son
 
I remember…(whispered)

Dreams dared by a little boy so innocent---Perhaps?
Life filled with baseball, bats and gloves and caps
 
Cowboy shows with mountain-mustangs running wild
Horizon-west beckon-called this curious boy-child
 
And, viewed Rocky Mountain summit cerulean high
Trekked on out Oregon-way to sight Pacific-blue sky
 
Tasted sweet Idaho-panhandle via Coeur d’alene
Short-visit Tennessee back home to prairie plain
 
Loved-tender to a Colorado blue spruce undulating rhythm-sway
On a lake rock-outcropping Black-Canyon-of-the-Gunnison way
 
Countless hours astride some mighty fine horses
Found chanced-success navigating life’s courses
 
Challenged golf for forty years, forsook it one fine fall
Tired of chasing clubs thrown farther than I hit the ball
 
You were beautiful! Me? A red convertible shaded “Cool!”
You still are a beauty! I’ve simply grown into an older Fool
 
I remember…(whispered)
 
…Highlight events along adventure’s wondrous trace
Praise! Honor! Glory! Father! Spirit! Jesus’ sacred face!
His will for me to be right there present in Love’s place
Lucky! I! Experience life’s best within His holy Grace!
 
…Highlight events along adventure’s wondrous trace

Amen!
