Memories Made

I walk down memory lane
for nothing remains the same
new ones born
old ones die
life passes us by
new ones arrive
some move on
ever changing 
perpetual motion
school days gone
children grew up
grandchildren arrive
retirement here
time ran fast
many memories made
precious in old age
for what the future holds
no  one knows
glad to be part 
of that memory 
for a season, a reason
or a lifetime.

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 7/12/2019 6:14:00 PM These are my sentiments too Phyl. I can see my grandson daughters getting taller daily. In just 4 days they will move away and I won't see them until Christmas. You expressed this beautifully my friend. : ) xxoo Login to Reply Phyllis Babcock Date: 8/14/2019 4:45:00 PM Ah so hard when family move away. Would break my heart so blessed to have them close.
