Life, Memories, and More

Moments gone, memories mine
searching to keep, thoughts combine.
Days of glory, stories unfold
life once lived, cherished to hold.

Life begun, not yet seen
follow your heart, follow a dream.
Each new day, a memory brought
held in mind, in a heart caught.

In every life, someday to see
through every door, life holds a key.
Take a chance, walk through the door
a life filled with memories, yet so much more.

Those last two lines are a perfect summary/closing to this piece. That's always the hardest part for me, well maybe that and the title.

You are so right D, but walking through that door sometimes is hard, and it's left swinging open..

Very very nice!! If we don't take chances in life the only memories we would have are ones of regret for not taking any.

Vas, I agree sometimes those titles can be the roughest. Thanks. *s*

Wynter~ Walking through the door is easier when you know that beyond that door is another......and another. thanks.

Sans, I couldn't agree more. Thanks for stopping by. *s*

Enjoy life...this is NOT a dress rehearsal. *s*
