Memories

I'm thinking more often these days Of childhood memories Days spent at home with a wonderful mom Ones that I will always cherish and keep Days unafraid with you here to save This child at the first sign of trouble Never to condemn with the ever loving hands That could only be held by a mother There to play games the best in playmates From hide and seek to peek-a-boo Training me right to be the man you now find Nothing for me that you wouldn't do Now in a home you and your thoughts alone Unclear of the secrets they keep As I bend near, whisper into your ear Mom do you remember me There's an ocean of thoughts that we float on A sea as wide as it's deep Where age takes its toll on the weariest of souls Along with lifes memories From early age on to now fully grown Those memories are what I cling to In my heart they are kept where no words need be said But if they did it would be I love you My Mom is still living (Thank you Jesus) but as she ages (Or is it me) my mind goes back to my wonderful childhood and the times we spent. The ending is fiction but you never know what tomorrow will bring...
