THE GRACE OF LOVE

I wrote this poem some years ago but can still remember the chair I sat in to write it, the particular writing pad I had and the certain type of pen I used.  It carries a lot of memories of people and times long gone.

                       THE GRACE OF LOVE

      Tenderly, let memory slide
      From you to me
      And me to you.
      Gently, let time’s long tide
      Wash over me
      And over you.
      From what remembered things
      Are left behind,
      From light and dark
      We’ll pick and choose and find,
      And use the whole
      To heal and bind,
      You to me
      And me to you.
