Sepulchered Memories

Love-bonding moments midst fortifying faith-triumphs Etched in my heart’s veins… Warm fellowships midst tear-filled mirth Distinctly carved within my soul’s chamber--- Blessed family huddling around contentment bounty Picturesquely entombed inside my spirit’s cells… Always ready to resurrect, quickening my nostalgic neurons Reviving me against oblivion-burial Never to become sepulchered memories… Since God rejoices* me with the days of my youth. *Ecclesiastes 11:9 Rejoice… in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
