Evangeline: A Memory

Out of the mire of lovely past
Mirthful surface in memory.
Our fun and frolic never last
As long as you are close to me.

Happy geese hover up above
Where you rest far from family.
Your cuddles remind us of love
Driving distress and scorn away.

Problems may flood our little world,
Discontentment carpets our ground;
We will stand triumphant and bold
Because you are always around.

Then Spring arrives with rain and shower,
While Summer sun readily smile;
Your tender love is forever
And Winter can come to beguile.
