Eventually Time Passes

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Eventually time passes... Sometimes slowly and sometimes quickly, the truth of the matter is this... I carry vague recollections of words spoken from people who have passed before me. I can slightly remember an, “I love you”, or even maybe a “goodbye” here or there. But the deepest connection comes from the intimate recollections of impressions left on my heart. Sentiments of compassion leaves footprints on my soul and my emotions will never forget those senses of that sort of love. I have memorized each everlasting feeling left behind from lives left. Sometimes leaving without warning, which makes my feelings more raw as time passes. Sometimes they leave slowly which makes my mind remember, but with ease. Eventually time passes…and with each moment I commemorate all affections left behind. A Response To... Silent One October 15, 2016

I was just talking with my ex about this at my daughter's cheerleading. The kids won't remember the performances but will remember the good times with friends, the compassionate coaches, and a few special moments... lovely poem
