Memories of My Life

Ever remembered Places where the sun still shines Without my shadow Oh how I do miss them These wonderful dear people Without whom so many special moments Would never have occurred Lasting visions frozen in time's echo Countless tears shed in sorrow In laughter And in compassion Those streams that I have swum Father's hug so gentle Yet solid as rock Mother's caress supremely comforting Beyond most vivid imagination So many friends I have made And some that I have lost For now Still soon we will be together Billions of potential friends Yet so few ticks of the clock Siblings so very close Now so far away Past loves endlessly lingering In almost forgotten kiss Too many things left unsaid So much I would like to say Believing that the end Is my real beginning And days I have never known I'll never truly miss Copyright © 2014 Robert William Gruhn - All Rights Reserved "A poem to me is the essence of any thought, Being built from its foundation into tower scraping sky.
