Reality fades
into the past,
deep into the
labyrinth
of memories
that we hold
inside the mind,
and so into
the heart.

If memories made
and given,
are wrapped in loves
true measure,
they crown the heart,
and feed the soul,
when dark hours pain
invades the day,
to sweeten thoughts
of hopes rebirth.

Tis surely blessed
for the one,
to give of memories
that speak of love,
and lasting joy.
To know you fill
anothers heart
with tender love
of moments past,
is gift more given
to the one
who gives this gift
of blissful thoughts,
never to be lost,
but held within
the heart,
and cherished
in the mind.



Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart.

Mom,

this is beautiful!  What would have to laugh about at dinner on Sunday if we didn't have all those memories?  My favorite memory is when I was little and I used to peek in the kitchen to see you and dad slow dancing to some oldie on the radio....come to think of it, you guys still do that!  Thank you for all of the warm memories you have given me.

I love you!
...beth

Yes, memories are like photographs arent' they, and this verse is a lovely reminder of them. Thank you for posting it.

so I never have to live without you."

Like the cherished hymn says, "Precious Memories, how they linger, how they ever flood my soul!"
This poem aboutjust that is so lovely, well expressed, with that special Ellie touch. Thank you for sharing & touching our lives with such beautiful thoughts.
