Memories
MEMORIES
In a moment’s time
I remember
I retrace the steps
In my mind
The memories stay with me
A part of who I am
Some make me falter
Stifled emotions welling up within
Some bring comfort
A soft warm blanket
Protecting me from the bitter cold
Others bring a certain sadness
Grievous pain somewhat dulled
By the years
Lord, bring your complete healing
To this fragile being
Come mend my soul
With you healing oil
Memories still resonate within
But now strength flows through me
Producing a river of joy
In my soul
