Memories

Lyrics from a song, A chapter of a book, A certain scent, Could be all it took. A scene in a film, Lines from a play, A walk in the park, On a certain day. Funny anecdotes, A time in the past, An item of clothing, Having something to last. Seasons of the year, A favourite flower, A beautiful view, Memories hold that power.

Yes and the older we get the more different that memory becomes. It seems time has a way of whitewashing the sadness from them. Then, we just become thankful they passed our way:) Sorry your hurting:( Moving write, Kay.

Hi Daniel. Thank you once again for your kind words. I must confess though, I'm not hurting.... Well, not in an emotional sense, as I feel that is what you meant. I have physical pain though, (Fibromyalgia and Spinal Spondylosis). The inspiration for this one came from a happy place. Best Wishes :)
