Down Memory Lane

I took a walk down memory lane, My heart reliving the scenes I visited with loved ones now gone The ones I see in my dreams. Each picture tugged at my heart Some even brought down a tear I felt a special kind of glow For I felt each loved one near. There was my mother alive and well I felt the warmth of her arms I knew that I had been loved And kept safe from all harms. I took a walk down memory lane... I held my baby girl tight She was fast asleep on my chest Unafraid of the dark night. The man of my dreams was there Back when passion meant fire I stared at his youthful face Was once more filled with desire. Tonight I walked down memory lane The journey was ever sweet I saw myself as I had been Oh, it was such a joyous treat! One day I’ll reach the end of the lane That lane that is called life And I’ll look out from a picture A smiling mother and wife And when she looks at my picture I hope my daughter will smile Remembering that she was loved Which makes life’s journey worthwhile.
