Watercolour Memories
I would share memories of my childhood
With my dear lady love.

Things look so much better from a distance
And what is time but a direction
Scars fade, wounds heal.
We don''t remember pain for a reason.
And what pain there was, I have to say
Was coloured in by joy
A counterweight, so very great
Back when I was but a boy.
Perhaps it is cruel of me, to paint with half the colours
Or is it just a form of love
Not to give pain to another
For she has not had an easy life
Nor seen goals and dreams fulfilled
So I strip shadows from the canvas
When I share with her my world.
