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
