Keeper of the Past I still plant new flowers every spring And wait for colored promises they bring. I search to find the first star of the night And make a wish upon it's twinkling light. Although I know that nothing stays the same, Still, I won't let the wind forget your name. I'll keep alive the lovely songs we sang, Remembering the way our voices rang And I will act, in days still left to me, As keeper of the way things used to be!

This was so full of heart. I don't know anything about critiquing I just know what I feel when I read. My feeling was this is so sweet, and reflective, and loving. I loved reading!!!!! SharaRose @-->-- Of sound, and speech let all lift the hearer! |

"Although I know that nothing stays the same, Still, I won't let the wind forget your name." The memories always walk with us...Thankyou for the lovely read  You've reminded me of a few ghosts I'll never forget.Always, BWA I awake to a world I don't want. There is no transition for me. I am in heaven. I am in hell. |

Betty, This poem is so beautiful it made me cry. It reminded me of my friend Sarah and I growing up. Unfortunately she is gone now, but her spirit will remain with me always. Dawn |
