Take my hand, walk with me
where memories never die;
where worlds stand still, as my heart that day
I first looked in your eyes.
Come with me, let's journey where
youthful hearts meet healthy minds.
We'll spend our days, as they remain,
in once upon a time.

I love taking those kind of walks :)
oh boy. This is beautiful. My heart is a puddle.
Even though books will age Ink somehow smells fresh When preserved on the page What once took place Documented on paper's skin Keeping memories alive and fresh For the next of kin This incantation, They Rhyme Feels like a Cursed Blessing Trapping One in "Once Upon A Time."
So, so lovely Cathy! Warm, tender, and beautifully crafted.
