Yes Life’s memories
come so quickly to our minds
Like a pictures flash
moments suddenly unwind
In a certain breeze
Sometimes a sudden scene then
it’s yesterday again
as those memories rush in
Rewinding backwards
we can see it clear sometimes
still we remain here
leaving yesterday behind
Sweet memories are
Like seeing through inner eyes
a good part of life
under bright and sunny skies
Happy sometimes then
living and growing somehow
thanking God we’re still
being blessed and happy now
Memories soon fade
and the glimpse soon goes away
still it’s good to have
memories of yesterday.
Yes we remember
olden times that are now gone
Now we’re back again
and our lives continue on.

2yAgree. The joy of life extended with our loved ones and loved ones who went ahead to Elysian Fields. No matter how fleeting they are they are bidding us “hello I am right there with you…always” Love Fave. Thanks Charlotte.

2yPleasant memories are harder to remember. Not so pleasant memories are the ones that I can't forget even though I wish I could.

2y@Robert L. Martin Hello Robert, Thanks.

2yLovely poem Charlotte. The older I get the pleasant memories have become more important and trying to make more before I go!

2y@Barb Clarke Hello Barb, Yes we need more good memories. Thanks for the compliment.

2yBeautiful poem as always. Memories can be rays of the sun that brighten our days. Sadly, they can be ghosts that terrify in the darkest nights.

2yHello Vic, I like the way you phrased that, the rays of the Sun that brighten our day. I could have used that line in my poem (smile). Thanks for your comments, their very true, and very much appreciated.
