Around Poem by Michaelpoetry Ryan

Around my heart I tied a ribbon;

scarlet red and velvet blue.

It keeps my memories keen and living;

keeps my mind returning to you.

Around my wrist a watch reminds me

of minutes, hours, and days apart

from memories that will always find me

close at hand and close at heart.

Around my head the memories linger;

the corner of my eye sees them fleet.

I wear a ring around my finger.

The memories pour in so complete

that around the time I start to wonder

if memories will be enough,

a round of rain and rolling thunder

remind me of your gentle love.
