Familiarity for M 'lady Emmie

sonnet variant

Familiarity

The river as it flows on by.
Softly sings us a lullaby
Our cottage built of weathered stone
sits by the riverside alone.
Here where we raised our family
we are still living happily
Al though the family have flown
and now have children of their own.
The house was here before we wed
and will be here when we are dead
But until then we're satisfied
to live beside the riverside
and listen to the lullaby
the river sings as it flows by.

wow! the images this poem has given me are wonderful, a young newly web stroll hand in hand, to there new home as time passes and the river flows and the many wonderful sunsets that have been gazed upon as the fading light reflects off the flowing wasters turning then golden. hearing the laughter of children in the background and as the years pass grandchildren too.

oh man i could go on and on what a wonderful poem. thank you for sharing this glimpse into your life.

Blessed be,
Fallon
