In the depths of winter
I’m reminded of your smile
I’m warmed inside
And gone are the lonely miles
With the snow falling all around
I remember you in springtime
The leaves all of color
And birds all sing in rhymes
But now the birds ask
Where have you gone?
They sing of sweet love
But for your presence they long
Sometimes in Winter
The memory of you lingers
With one who knew you well
And the touch of your fingers
But all I could do
Was see you from a distance
Feeling the glow in my heart
Smiling without resistance
I can’t help but wonder
If you knew the affect you inspired
On a young boy in school
His heart all afire
