Memories

In the deep recesses of my aging mind Are images of life long ago Joyous images of fun and laughter Of loving hearts all aglow The passage of time is of no consequence Images of youth still remain Halcyon days of laughter and good cheer Peace and happiness reigned A dreamer is what I've often been called But with my advancing years I tend to reminisce a whole lot more Remembering my joys and fears My very first date, my very first kiss A newly discovered love Euphoric feelings my head was a-spinning Giving my heart a shove No matter my age sweet memories remain Great days of unbridled youth What would I do if I couldn't recall them all This time of innocence and truth In the deep recesses of my aging mind Are images of life long ago Joyous images of fun and laughter Of loving hearts all aglow
