Poem
Shadows on the wall When the sun goes down and shadows fall My thoughts turn to pictures on my wall My heart heaves a sigh for years gone by And loved ones who have said goodbye Those chubby hands that caressed my face Have moved away to a distant place And absent friends are still dear to my heart Lo these many years we’ve had to part My heart holds memories that will never fade There is not one hour that I would trade For the years of love that I found so rare No precious jewels could ever compare The sound of silence pervades the room But I will not dwell on doom and gloom For in my heart I hear music still Of long gone voices and always will! The sounds of laughter still sound in my ears But now it’s grandchildren’s voices I hear They stop and stare at the photos they see Of their dad and mother, their grandfather and me Photos of Aunts and Uncles…cousins galore Bring unbridled laughter at the clothes we wore Time stands still for all to see And it makes me happy they’ll remember me! My heart holds memories that will never fade There is not one hour that I would trade For the years of love that I found so rare No precious jewels could ever compare My Diamonds are here for all to see My heart overflows…with my memories!
