Best Recall The Happy

Memory is often
a pale light

in truth the heart
sometimes lies

so blue so blue
I think her eyes

more gray they were
and far less loving
sighs -- 

but best recall the happy
and forget the cries

Love is not truth nor lies

best recall the happy…love is not truth nor lies. You are so right. We never have an accurate depiction of things. I love so blue so blue her eyes…more gray. :) Bless you, Joe Dimino!

Thank you, DM; that is exactly what the poem was meant to express. You made my day. I can love someone, and yet disagree with their life-style. If it were not so, God would already have made many more of us toast. The way I see it anyway. Blessings my friend. Have a great day!
