Remembering

In that peaceful, almost sleep My mind goes wandering back Along the pathways of my life Recapturing moments again I remember with a blush When he first kissed me And the sadness that I felt When he left this world forever I try to imagine my little one That I never got to hold Had he lived He would have been Twenty six years old Thoughts are like a chain One link connects another Memories of childhood Sharing with my brother Talking to him on the phone Just the other day Made me think of games He and I used to play That brings to mind My best friend And nights spent giggling I tried to call her But, no one was there So I’m just lying here Remembering Some memories Are so bittersweet Others sweet as sugar Some I will not allow To surface in my mind at all God has made us this way With the ability to store Mementos from the past For future pondering So as I wait for sleep to claim My tired, old, weary frame My memories I treasure As I visit them again
