Precious Recall

See precious times well frozen
before details are stolen,
robbing blissful enjoyment
from your heart’s place as chosen.
Deny years their flash erosions.

True bliss strokes both heart and head.
Stop those thief years that shred
treasured looks and prized words said.
We must master the golden thread
keeping time and memories wed.

Cradling the moment when joy fills space,
stays elation's satiny, potent embrace
and silky case for recall’s firm place.
With gratitude, born in faith,
lovingly grasp nostalgia’s trace.

Beautiful verse, CayCay, good luck in the contest. Thank you for reading my poem, “ As She Cradled Her Child,” it’s a true story he’s been gone now 5 years. His birthday was Friday and his mom always gathers family at his plot celebrating his birthday with cake and balloons her only child. Hugs Eve
