A Kyrielle Sonnet poem for Day 6 of the Fall 2010 Rhythm & Rhyme Poetry Challenge
Sit with me.

Leave the cares of the day behind,
Sit with me, love, perhaps we'll find,
Time to wax nostalgic instead,
Let's cast a hopeful glance ahead.

Pictures of the past guard our booth,
They speak to us of age and youth.
Fear not; they praise the life we've led,
Let's cast a hopeful glance ahead.

My body's aging, yet I'm fine,
My spirit is spry for you're mine.
Stay by my side and please don't dread,
Let's cast a hopeful glance ahead.

Leave the cares of the day behind,
Let's cast a hopeful glance ahead.
