Recompense

I would that I might gather
All the memories in my heart,
And bind them 'round with silver twine
And place them well apart
From all the cares that fret the soul
That they might sacred be...
Unsullied by the pain which Life
Has offered unto me.
In some far archive, ever dear,
I'd keep the silver bright...
Unblemished by the storms of day,
Protected from the night.
And, tho the years are lonely,
God at least was kind to me,
When parting us---in recompense
He offered Memory!

Rex,
you know this made me smile ...at the memories it evoked.
Be well
