Robert Gorelick Poet Limerick

Dear Maureen

I swore that was you at the show yesterday
Chatting in line, bright young smile on display
But of course, it can't be
Now you'd be old like me
Yet I'm still glad you don't just fade

No one ages in our memory  
They stay the same though old they may be 
It is indisputable  
No one stays as beautiful 
As they were once when young and carefree

Marikate Kingston February 1, 2023 at 9:17 PM Dear Robert, this poem was perfect for me to find. My mother was named Maureen. " No one ages in our memory" That is for sure. She will always be exquisite and young to me. I wrote a poem about her last year. The title is in french. I can't wait to print this lovely, positive and pretty poem to put with my collection of her special things.
