Reflecting back on years I find There's sadness, joy and smiles I keep Each stored on pages in my mind That turn through days and as I sleep Those little things that make us real More habits than of whirlwind pace A smell, a touch, a taste that was Events that through our years did race The growing from our youth to old Those findings that in secret lay Retelling snippets we were told Enjoying time as mind does play The days are now of slower times More of leisure and serene But ever caught by memory’s eye To give a glimps and show what's been |

Memories are special, and although some, such a many of mine, are not so wonderful I enjoy reading about those that are. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Some memories are painful and others are precious... and all form the foundation of who we are. *S* This is wonderful! |
