Flashing Memory

 An unbidden memory rushes in
 I quickly usher it away
 That one came from 'way back when'
 Sometimes you can't keep them at bay
 I may recall it another day

Yes, those unbidden memories can sure be persistent! Good luck with ushering them away! I enjoyed reading your poem.

Joseph. I saw an old comment of yours on one of my older kids and realized I hadn't seen you in quite a while. It's a relief to see this cute poem. Written it looks like a few weeks ago.

MEMORIES, THOUGHTS AND DREAMS CANNOT BE CONTROLLED, THEY come at will. All we can maybe do, is go or do something that we enjoy and let all the above slip away. Hugs to you Joseph. Jennifer.
