A TRIBUTE TO YOUNG LOVE

By Dee Taylor
(Published in 2005)

I REMEMBER… The handsome young man who captured my heart when I was just
eighteen, still fresh as an unpicked flower!

I REMEMBER… The twinkle in his eyes when he smiled down at me and,
The sweet promises he made on our New Year's wedding day!

I REMEMBER… Each time he entered the room,
     he could make my heart skip a beat…
     even after years of marriage!

I REMEMBER… As he would take me in his strong arms,
Our feet were as one in perfect rhythm as he whirled me across the floor.
I could have danced all night and still danced some more!

I REMEMBER… Our intense love for each other. And when in our 20's,
Our romantic love brought forth three beautiful reddish-blonde-haired baby girls
     and one handsome toe-headed baby boy!

I REMEMBER… The roller coaster ride of my young life began,
     as I fought With all my might,
     to hold tight to a man whose spirit was struggling to be free!

I REMEMBER… 25 years later, my youth fleeting,
My breasts no longer satisfied his needs,
     and he asked for his liberty!

I REMEMBER… How I watched hopelessly as the ride was over,
Seeing dreams once promised never to be fulfilled!

I REMEMBERED…. and I paused and I thought...

FOREVER I WILL REMEMBER… Now that he is truly free, and
As I look into the eyes of my children,
     perhaps you too can see and share with me,
Our young love will always be,
     as long as I have you and you have me!

I WILL REMEMBER… and I hope you will remember too!

I wrote this poem out of the pain I felt in my heart for my children in memory of my ex-husband, who was murdered in 2003. Written out of my own anguish of how to help them, I wanted them to know that even though their dad and I had been divorced since 1984, they were conceived out of a young love that would always be alive and be remembered as I looked at them.

In memory of Danny Dale Sorrels,
Born: February 4, 1931,
Died: February 25, 2003.
