Fondest Memory

Come gather ‘round me, children as I leave Countless as stars and I am pleased Most of you older ones bring me most joy When I call, how you make my heart soar Some late nights when sleep takes a hike You enwrap me in a warm embrace tight As we stroll through life’s broadening lanes Picture-perfect glimpses of you remain This new home will be my final abode No negativity fits in- peace it erodes Have no regrets, each one has a place The universe is a wide open space The moment, you my fondest was born I recorded you like my favorite song Now, I go where I can not take you all So come, fondest memory as to sleep we fall ~*~

In our fondest memory, we are relieved from where we are now and steal some precious moments of our past to be remembered again. Congratulations, Carolyn on your well-desered win. (^_^) Noel.

Darn these contests, they forced one to write such provocative things that scare a heart to death ... we all must say goodbye, but to you I would not be ready yet, dear friend ... even though you bring such courage to it. All the best in the contest.

Ah, I see the metaphor now, Audrey. Sorry I was confused. I read it twice and thought it was your mother speaking about her children as memories. I think it will do well in the contest! Either way you interpret it, the poem is so beautiful. Love, Carolyn

Hon, are you writing about your own mother here? Such a touching, heartfelt poem. I'm so sorry you had to lose her, but her spirit will never forget you and you will be reunited one day. Excellent entry for the contest, Audrey! Love, Carolyn
