I Remember Summer Days Poem by DM W

I remember summer days,
Before the pain of mortal troubles.
I remember jewelled moments,
Just after the gentle rain;
When the air was soft & warm;
Tinged with the scent of roses.

And I recall that we would count
The diamond like evening stars,
As the day grew dark and
Time's shadows lengthened.

I remember summer days,
When I catch myself dreaming:
Days when the world seemed
To burst with light,
When death & despair seemed
Like distant fictions.

O I remember summer days,
When the grass seemed greener,
And we would make daisy chains
Without a care under the sun.
