Journeys Cease

We keep the treasures that our hearts cherish, In quiet times unearth their memories. Find there the longing and a constant wish, We want to bring back the lost days we miss. But roads we tread have ends and journeys cease. And when a book's last page is read, it's closed, Just as life leads to where we'll lie... reposed.

thanks again Cinthia, its not too cold today just wet. There's a poem 'Scotland the Brave' on my list if you want to check it out but there's another one I've not put on it so I'll try and look it out and put it on. its called 'portrait of Scotland'. God bless, Gordon

Thank you again, Gordon. Yes, my island is very near that but we have to take a boat to get there. Glad to know you are from Scotland (brrrrr) cold over there. Perhaps a poem about Scotland soon?
