Memories and the Future

We’ve taken this rode to Manitoba
And seen the beauty and felt the cold.
Seen lakes to the East and West,
And now I am feeling old.

Seen a bear in riding mountain park,
But now it is time for a new start.
Thank-you for the memories these last two years
It’s a journey in our time.
What we can talk about it will be fine;
It was your fun times and mine.

Met family members here
Some which we never had met.
And over 3 million people have passed away from Covid 19
Which we can never forget.
It’s been happy and sad times these days
As time passes by,
But it is time to say goodbye.



To BC where mountains are everywhere.
To see the oceans and Gold River
Once again, so much is there.
We will get into a U-Haul truck and away we will go
to see beautiful BC we all know so well.

Thank-you, Marlene and Brandon, for
These memories in our life.
As we explore new and better things
to open new doors and see
What life will bring.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
