Best Fond Memories Poems

I lay cold and alone in complete and utter darkness
Never again to feel the sunlight upon my face
Alone yet never again lonely, no laughter, no tears, no more fears
Gone is the longing for companionship, the burden of love, nor hatred
Did I wish this? Is this...

We weren't rich by any means
but our bellies were full and our clothes were clean

They didn't display those high priced names
but they wore fine just the same

We didn't ride around in fancy cars
Grandma saved pennies in a big glass jar

We learned early that money doesn't...

Holding on to my Nan’s hand, we walked around the lake
The snow was deep all around and there were kids tying on skates
My Nan squeezed my hand and we set off to the little wooden café
Smoke was spiraling out of the stove pipe stack and...

through the window i peered
intricate layers of lace
painted by old man winter
obscured my view of any visible signs

the snow outside was deep
but the emotions inside ran deeper

i remember waking Christmas morn
empty plate and cup littered the sink
fancy gifts. delicately placed
beneath the now silent tree

giggles of...

Like me, Jimmy had a passion
For writing poetry too
So I thought I’d write a special one
To share with all of you

For my cousin Jimmy Peoples
I have a lot of fond memories
From when we grew up together
With such loving families

After our Grand-daddy Gray
I was supposed to...

I want to share a few,
Fond memories of my dad,
With an experience or two,
Of the times together we had.

He was a carpenter by trade,
Just like Jesus used to be,
But the full time job with mom he made,
Was taking care of me.

I remember things we did...

It does my heart good thinking of childhood memories
When the only thing that was important were families.
Friends made at a young age have now become old friends.
But the family bonds that were made will never end.

With five brothers, a sister and very colorful parents
We had...

FOND MEMORIES
My thoughts brown
Even though they’ve watered through a period
Of bloom
A period of greens
Not until when the final byes were said.
In my sofa I seek answers
 Taking a cursory sweep down memory lane
When we sat laughed, danced and drank
Today all is but history
Save for the...

You and I by the Christmas Fire
Bing Crosby on the CD
I stare at your face
With a big smile across my face

The house is empty
There is no one home
So, we decorate the place.
Lighted candles in every space.

We put the presents where they belong
Waiting for the boys...

(inspired by the poetry of Li Bai)

Beer I sip from a can
Stars tremble in my telescope
Drunk, I rise to fetch another can
New stars have entered my scope

Oh, Cupid,
With your sharpest arrows,
Life’s most fond memories
You have
On 
My heart engraved!

"How sweet to the heart are the scenes of my childhood"
                        Samuel Woodworth, 1785-1842



With fond memories my heart embraces
childhood days of innocent...

The lights that blinds the moth at dusk
Is like the elephant’s white tusk,
Which charms the eye but robs the purse:
A gentle animal’s great curse. 

Alike, when love by time is borne
Within a mind to duty sworn, 
Fond memories the heart enslave
And both are carried to...

I wait for the sun to rise,
I hold his wings in my hand,
Thinking of the good times,
Hoping they come again,

I hold his wings in my hand,
Surrounded by those I love,
Hoping they come again,
In search for the new day,

Surrounded by those I love,
Thinking of the good...

I see it now in memory,
My mama’s dining table,
I’d like to sit at it again
If only I were able.

I get a fuzzy feeling when
I find them in recall,
Five brothers, Daddy, Sister
And Mama most of all.

We did not have to be called twice
To gather in our...
