The pictures hang on ev’ry wall around And perch upon each tabletop in show It’s quite a crowd and memories surround Completely bathing me in warming glow. Politely they take turns relating days Gone by; each tale retold pure gold contains Despite the passing years, time’s gauzy haze, Unscathed, their brilliant luster yet remains. I dust them off, return each to its place Arranging captured moments tenderly My soul is kissed by ev’ry smiling face That’s beaming forth a cherished memory. Within my mind dwell treasures that are real Possessions that no thief could ever steal. Denise |

Beautiful sonnet, Denise. I'd heard you got both hands cut off in an accident and couldn't write poetry anymore  I'm glad to see that wasn't true  Welcome back |

denise, this PERFECT!!!!! it was a relaxing calming read. very nice... sentimental and perfect... I too love having all my pics out (just wish we didnt have to dust them LOL) take care,jm she said I dont know if I've ever been good enough, and I'm a little bit rusty, and I feel like my head is caving in. ...and I dont know if I've ever been really loved by a hand thats touched me... and I feel like somethings gonna give... and I'm a little bit angry. matchbox20 |
