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 Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |
