Memories never really die or say goodbye; they reside within our hearts, they light the spark of future memories to be born, and the regrets hopefully teach us wisdom and lessons to keep us on a positive path for each New Year! In writing this poem, I wish everyone at Poetry Soup a New Year filled with many blessings!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

deep in this dark, cold, last night of December, is one tiny flame of a flickering ember. like so many memories of Decembers gone by, tucked in our hearts, memories safely reside. reminiscing our blessings through all the past years, of those we have loved, our regrets, and our tears. as December surrenders to January's dawn, that one tiny ember still flickers on. it ignites the flame of new memories not yet born on the horizon of this New Year's morn!

We will each be given an allotted time of 24 hours a day, provided we are not called home. The question is what we will do with it and will those memories be good or bad. Thanks for sharing this one with us which makes one stop and think which is one sign of a good poem. Thank you for all your support during the previous year. Sara K
