Always Remember, juvenilia poetry by Stephen Fuller

As I continue my March long visit back to 1985, the year poetry began for me, I share the first poem I wrote. Enjoy!
September 10, 1985
Summertime is gone
With it the sunshine
There will be a new dawn
With it new sunshine
Life does not end
With one season
Look around the bend
You will see the reasons
Don’t forget your new found friends
Or your old renewed friendships
Never forget our summertime trends
Be ready to sail on new ships
Life is meant for living and loving
Keep on learning and discovering
You must carry on
Without written lines
Because there comes a new dawn
And with it new sunshine
Remember trust and love
And with them patience
You will see a white dove
True love will make sense
Remember, Summertime is gone
With it the warm sunshine
Soon comes the awaited dawn
With it warmer sunshine
(C) 1985 Stephen Fuller

Thank you Eugenia. I am eager to get my youthful words out there. Later today I am posting an essay about a reboot of the Into My Own series I am undertaking. I am hoping you will enjoy it and the whole project!
