I waited too long to go back to Those long ago days we knew, Back to the time of care free youth, When summers were made for two. No one we knew is still around, Nothing familiar to be found. They've slipped away with remembered years When life was happy, before the tears. They vanished with you when you went away. Summers of sunshine aren't meant to stay. I hold them fast in my treasured recall, Those sunniest, merriest days of all. By: Joyce 7/29/08 |

Joyce~ Such a nostalgic little penning~ Isn't it nice to know that we can wend our way back through the portals of time ... thank God for the memory of our memories~  *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Joyce, There is always the Good memories in your treasure chest-- But then, theirs the bad and the sad. I believe that you can have two different places in your mind to have one with good and one with sad -Keeping the good ones close to your heart  ARCTIC WIND |

Reminds me of a conversation over 30 years ago at my Grandfather's funeral( he lived to be 85) where my Grandmother was upset because none of her friends were around to come and comfort her, they had passed on too. She lived to be 95... M |

I waited too long to go back to Those long ago days we knew, The first lines touched deep into my heart. You do have a way of pulling forth hidden thoughts in all of us. ~ Previously Known as Broken_Winged_Angel and BrokenWinged_Angel~ |
