Fond Memories

Have you looked in your treasure chest of the mind?
Fond memories wrapped in pearls of the past
and
packages of sheer fantasy.
Do we forget the simple pleasures of life,
memories that are likened to fleeting snapshots
that are frozen in time?
These memories brought into view with just a thought or giving you the feeling of deja vu.
One of the first memories that comes to mind was when I was a child.
We lived in the city,
with a drug store on the corner,
and in this drug store a counter
that was called a soda fountain.
They prepared meals
and on display many delicious delights.
My friend and I would go flying to the drug store laughing, jumping and running with glee
because they would give us a free glass of water
Sitting behind the front door at the drug store,
reading comic books, people walking by with a smile on their face.
Simple pleasures but remembered for a lifetime.
Your first kiss from the boy who stole your heart, then ran away to kiss another the following week.
Take a moment in your busy life, sit, have a cup of tea and enjoy the snapshots stored within your chest of life's memories.

Love Bon-Bon

Memories are the best, and so was your poem.

Always drink upstream from the herd.
