Cherished Memories

Memories like gifts are not to be squandered
    A present our minds choose to re visit there
       So many beautiful sights stored to ponder
          My fathers face a cherished place to be shared 
              Happiness or sadness a glimpse of wonder
                  A loved one remembered so gentle his care

A virtual unending vault full of themes
Visit upon waking or enter in dreams
