As I sit and think a while
Echoes of past loved ones come to mind
And across my face comes a smile
For the best kind of love has been mine.
With thoughts of love I cross the miles
To days long gone away
And remember loved ones who shared my day.
Their memory is precious and sweet.
Into my heart remembered love echoes
To bring happiness again
Making my lonely heart feel
The blessings of lost love which were very real.
I write about feelings of joy sweet
That made my life complete
And longings for the return of love
To fill my heart again.
These echoes of love from the past
Bring joy for the moment, I learn
But soon I am sad again as it never seems to last
As past love cannot fill the present
and the love for which I now yearn.
