Views in Verse - on relationships.
Our key influences stay with us through life
There is a silver lining in most experiences in life, if we look hard enough for it? Are we not enriched in some way by every relationship we have?
Certainly some impact the remainder of our lives
First Love
A hint, a trace, some words...?
What is it of her
that I can really say?
I remember well our first meeting
way back, at school, a summer's day
And then...
the two of us together
Memory has it
always holding hands
Giving time to each other
and just wandering...
around the streets, the beach, the bands
But now...
the best part of a lifetime
Her presence...
I still do so often find
comes to me
ever easy
from a quiet corner of my mind
She lives there deep inside of me
So deep inside of me
Sweet memory from a simpler day
They say your first love never leaves you
But comforts you and leads you
Never leaves you, never leaves you
Come what may
I travelled quite soon
after my schooling
That year in the city
it came at quite a price
We drifted time would tell
too far from the well
and then just ...got on ...with our lives
But thru the years
she's been there like a beacon;
life since then
hasn't always been that kind
A thought; a shot sublime
she'll cross my troubled mind
Like a trusty top that must unwind
She lives there deep inside of me
So deep inside of me
Sweet memory from a simpler day
They say your first love never leaves you
Just comforts you and leads you
Never leaves you, never leaves you
Come what may
Our fledgling years they
held such fears for each of us it seems
A time of just not knowing what to do
But when touched by a sign
Of these early times
It takes me ....to this private world ...we knew
A friend of mine a while back
said that he'd seen her
Couldn't wait to say :
"she remembers you"!
I was happy at the time
just to hear that she was fine
...her welcome touch would
keep on coming through...
She lives there deep inside of me
So deep inside of me
Sweet memory from a simpler day
They say your first love never leaves you
But comforts you and leads you
Never leaves you, never leaves you...
Come what may...
We drifted time would tell
Too far from the well
And then ...just ...got on ...with our lives
