Memories Such As These
Memories Such as These
As I look back on the years gone by
there are so many memories
that bring such joy to this heart of mine,
memories such as these;
A little boy with a teddy bear
that he carried with him everywhere,
and two little feet that skipped and ran,
oh I how I loved that little man.
Then three little girls came on the scene.
They wore pretty dresses that were never clean
but they danced and giggled and made me grin
with their precious ways that they had back then.
I held their hands as we traveled the years,
and I wiped their noses and calmed their fears.
We explored the world with curiosity
and I learned from them and they learned from me.
Oh the years went by too quickly it seems
but I tried to teach the importance of dreams.
Then I watched as each one went their way,
and I closed my eyes and began to pray,
“Dear Lord please keep them safe for me.
Please guide them gently, let them be
compassionate and loving too.
Dear Lord please give them faith in you.”
As I look back on the years gone by
I am proud of the part I played,
in the lives of the children I loved so much.
May the memories never fade.
May they too look back and always know
how much they meant to me.
When they look in their hearts,
may they always find a loving memory.
