Silly, Sweet Memories

Middle aged and grey haired
he went back in time for a moment
to his teen age and its silly thoughts
Smiled, recalling the silly stuff
he had written in her book, bidding farewell
on last day of college....

"I live and relive images
of your tender face on my bosom
as I gently cup your delicate shoulders
-images that give me strength
to keep going- come rain,come sun...."

Yes, silly, perhaps 'immature' as well
yet, its sweetness lingers

to be recalled once in a while
as respite to an aging, tired life...
