The knock at the door shouldn’t have been a surprise Ol’ Scratch had dropped by from time to time For cards Or a drink Or, general discussions about not a whole lot But tonight, it was different There was something I wanted to know I know, I said, that sooner or later You’re going to come by this shack And the call won’t be social That when you leave on that day You’ll be taking me with you Or, at least, the small kernel of me That matters at all And it terrifies me Not, so much, for the clay I inhabit This shell, you see, becomes less And less a thing that I cherish Or even for the things that I’ve learned For, all that I know, is known also by others Or losing the philosophies I treasure so much I know they will always endure inside books Its my memories that concern me Especially the ones I’ve edited so carefully Tell me, old friend, what happens to them? |

Memories are the living light that carry our tired bodies through each day. |

Its my memories that concern me Especially the ones I’ve edited so carefully Tell me, old friend, what happens to them? ~*~ If those carefully edited memories are in blue, black and white...then they are ours for eternity....and we will keep them warm in your memory. |

Or, at least, the small kernel of me That matters at all Do cherish yourself...anyone that makes you feel less simply doesn't deserve you...and you do matter, the whole entirety of you, thoughts, soul, and heart....you are a part of life..life you...and a miracle...a beat in time so signficant, without you time would stop! Heart wrenching poem |

interesting thoughts in this - as far as scratch goes - a nice bit of sesame oil should take care of that wondering itch, then he won't be needed  SusanIf I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . . |

The secret I understand is ask him or her to a game of cards and then break their arms before they deal. Like the words very much. Dave |

Its my memories that concern me Especially the ones I’ve edited so carefully Tell me, old friend, what happens to them? I could bend your ears backwards... or drown you *S*... with all this makes me feel... particularly these incredibly poignant lines... But... *G* I enjoy your work far too much to risk running you off. LOL So I'll just say... oh, yes... fantastic!!! |

My old friend Bob knows....he still drops by occasionally, and did for a few minutes this morning. He used to love to talk and tell stories of things he'd seen in life. Now he can't talk (being dead), but when he visits I remember those times and things he would say....and the feeling that I get from him tells me he does too. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
