“To ponder is to wander- midst memories and yonder.” __by Poet I oft ride down my dear memory lane- recalling those that filled up special years, to ponder, safeguard those which I retain- that show my smiles still winning over tears. I do remember childhood days with joy, and, reminiscing on my family, I recollect the ways they helped employ to shape my life- then pass to me the key. Nostalgically, I search in retrospect and call to mind the gifts I leave behind reflecting all the ways I could connect accepting strength to foster peace of mind. I ponder life as I look through this scope- expand their gifts of love, with faith, and hope.
