Cherish Is the Word

CHERISH IS THE WORD 

I cherish those sweet, bitter memories
of yesterday that became my life’s stories
I relish telling these memorable stories
with my families, relatives and friends, 
and sharing them in my writings, poems.

I revere the memories of the people
who encouraged and believed in me,
who pushed me to believe in myself
that made me self-assured, confident.

I value the negative experiences I had
and the people who wronged me for
they thought me valuable lessons and
made me wiser and a stronger person,
as well as to let go, forgive and move on.

I cherish the precious moments of cuddling
my newborns and watching their first steps.
Every sweet moments of togetherness with
families and friends, especially my children,
grandchildren and someone I care and adore.

I treasure the precious things my children
give me for I appreciate their gestures and 
thoughtfulness and I feel so grateful, thankful.
I cherish all the pleasant memories of the
things I had done with the people I was
with in the places I had been and explored.

To describe all these memories, experiences,
people, moments, things and places I hold
so dearly in my heart and in my mind ……
Cherish is the word……
