Remnant Pages

memories rest upon dusty shelves abundant memories filled selves browning pages seldom turned painful lessons often learned baby pictures and wedding books routes reflect paths I took rife with love sealed by prayer mirrors a life I dared to share family days last minute trips fingertips whose pages flip marvels captured moments saved courses mapped pathways paved life reduced to tattered pages emotions felt with hormone rages friends and pals freckled faces around the world to foreign places moments spent in quiet repose pages are touched covers close a sigh released in quiet reflection knew the past foretold direction treasured words reduce with age remnants whisper from a tattered page
