What if love was like a river living wild and flowing free, like a ribbon through the heartland as far as one could see. Would forever mean forever, if this were truly meant to be? Could we leave sad memories on distant shores? What if peace was like a fire that stops the chill from winters hold and held each heart in comfort, away from pain that's growing old? Would forever mean forever with souls alone out in the cold? Could we leave sad memories outside our doors? What if hope had never found a way to keep us in its stead or hadn't even passed this way for want of what was said? We just might be wondering, just wondering alone, for all the love and warmth, your light has truly shown, and for the most enduring peace, this heart has ever known.

Hello Charlie Smith, it would be wonderful to leave the sad memories outside the door at a distance so it does not enter in. That would be a good thing. Merry Christmas.Have a nice day my friend.

A fine lyric with good flow, Charlie, and thank you for reading my take on certain birds. One question sir: Who or what is "your light" in the last stanza of your poem? Again always a pleasure to hear from you. / M

Thanks Maurice, for me it would be spiritual in nature, for others it may simple be the love of another...

So many what ifs in life Charlie, missed opportunities for some. A great lyric, I've sort of sung it several times now, unfortunately, I'm not a musician for this most definitely needs a tune! Mick
