Memories

Many years we spend together and all I have 
is memories left. Today I sit here all alone,
because my love has gone. I will not see him 
anymore.

We spend many days together. than one day
we relized that those days had becomed  years.
We never thought about the future, or made too
many plans.

We just lived day by day accepting whatever came.
One day - things changed, but we held on. I got 
very sick and thought that it was the end for me.
I was wrong - God had other plans.

I got well and came back home. Little did I know 
it was now my husband's turn. Six months later,
the Lord called him to go home.

Now I remember the places we went to and the
special things we did. We had a good life together
with no regrets and those are the memories that
I will never forget.

At the end of our lives it is
always nice to leave good
memories behind.

I enjoyed reading your poetry this afternoon Lucilla. I am reading today and hoping to find some inspiration to write. I had a run a week or so ago and now it wimped out on me. Thank you for posting your poetry and sharing it with others. Love, Carol

We must make good memories while we can because some day they may be all we have left. I understand your sorrow. Thank you for reading and commenting on my "Mother" poem. Love, Joyce
