Melodious Memories Golden Oldies

Engulfed in recollections bittersweet Reminded just how lonely life can be How sad the fact that mem'ries are not free From train of thought pass shadows in the street Within the strains feelings become up beat Piece shiny shards of broken memories So many good times on life's open seas Our failures and our follies were so fleet My song of life has many different notes In languishing refrains I find a smile Revisiting sweet scenes of happiness The lump I swallow nearly makes me choke Replace the bitter aftertaste of bile Each candy memory a Hershey's kiss an original poem by Daniel Turner
