For Memory's Sake

A memory, soft, it makes my eyes to water As many events of life so come to mind The maudlin rains, a facial recollection A reminder of my youth and love that binds I thought I had forgotten all the yesterdays Truth be known they were always there, suppressed As now I am reminded of the many people Who contributed well, that make me now feel blessed The many friends that guided me from darkness The mentors at my jobs that came and went I think of them so fondly, on this morning As time this morning, now, is so well spent The memories, they make me smile so freely As all of them so fill my heart with worth The love, the blessings from so many people Let me know I am valued on God’s green earth
