Marilyn Saunders Poems

Oh! to dance just one more time
To feel your arms around me
To feel your warm breath on my neck
You know my love surrounds thee
...

You weren't born with instructions, a manual or a guide
We did what we thought best for you with love from deep inside
We soothed your ills and patched 'skinned-up'knees
We pushed you on the swings
...

Gettysburg is quiet now
Gone are the smoke and the screams
The statues now stand; their images remain
Preserved for us it seems
...
