Thinking Of You Poem by Peter S. Quinn

I'm thinking of you now every day
In my hours of loneliness
Every heart beat of mine that plays
With its touch inside caress
With a love of my own
In the dark of a winter night
And I am standing here so alone
With the shades of autumn's light

Giving thought to the hours gone by
When the evening was bright
And the blue was with summer sky
In the early new dawn's light
I am thinking of you and spring
When the flowers were glowing shade
And my heart to you would sing
Of how beautiful they were made

Every longing that is here still
Dreams flying away into the fall
With the moments that came to fulfill
Each of its aspiring rising call
When our love was young and sweet
Like blossoming gardens we found
Those are now leaves beneath my feet
In the autumn that now’s here around
