Memories

Renewed by scene

A heart carved in sapling

Mighty red oak thirty foot high

Heirloom  

Memories can be pronounced mem-o-ries or mem-ries...

In the game of life you can’t cheat

Not all will win; some will lose

No one chooses their hand

One must learn to play

Cards dealt by fate.

Each flip cost, 

No second

Tries.

Just as the sun sets
the moon ries
I'm pleasured with
candle lit surprises
you gave me your hand
to trust
But i don't want to rush
Baby just understand
you are you my man
Let's meet and became friends
After then we can make our own
Lose ends amends
Closer, closer, and closer
Until we are together....

Fed up with tasteless pastries from the high street baker,
I planned to take a stall in the market
And provide my tried and tested range of pies.
But, though well meant, when I saw the rent,
It was far too high.
My plan was just pie in the sky

M-ake Wednesday forgettable, 
A-llow it to pass by; 
E-xpect another new day beneath the blue sky. 

A-llow the beacon to erase 
P-ain, sorrow, and heartache; 
I-n fifteenth December, 
L-et Thursday dawn break. 
A-n early morning sun 
D-ries the tears in your eyes; 
O-pen your heart to red rays that make your birth so nice....

L-ord God always lives
I-n your heart, soul, and mind; 
S-ee His endless power, 
S-ee it wherever you're
A-ssigned.

D-eath fears the Lord, 
A-lmighty God never dies; 
N-either beginning nor end
T-ries to blind your eyes.
E-arly morn twelfth of June, new day, He again gives; 
S-howing that He never sleeps, because God always lives....

G-reat goal of the guide
R-emains full of light; 
E-very truth it reveals
T-ries to set things aright.
C-hoose the goal of the guide, 
H-appy life is on the way; 
E-arnestly learn to follow, 
N-ovember thirteenth Monday.

R-emain in the right path, 
O-bey the sacred aim inside; 
Y-our heart hears the voice
O-f the goal of the guide....

J-anuary twenty-ninth early morn, 
E-vening darkness has vanished; 
A-nother warm morning breaks, 
N-ew dawn shines with a good wish.
E-ach and every passing year
T-ries to offer good luck; 
T-his year though is certain, 
E-ven sure of making a buck.

E-ndless and countless
B-lessings never run dry; 
A-s the Lord is ever merciful, 
L-etting you always aim so high....

E-xciting occasion 
D-ries the tears in your eyes; 
E-vening shadows disappear, 
N-ew light shares with sunrise. 

B-ig birthday bash 
E-liminates the darkness; 
A-ugust twenty-sixth morn 
T-urns away from mess. 
O-ne huge jubilation brings brightness to the day; 
N-ew dawn has broken, causing the night fade away. 

J-oy and gladness 
U-p the celebration; 
N-ice emotion you feel, 
I-t's an exciting 
O-ccasion....

G-ood and warm wishes 
R-eplace the bad weather; 
A-llowing the rain to fade, 
C-omforting your heart 
E-ver. 

S-weet and good greetings 
A-re coming after the night; 
N-ovember second day 
T-ries to set things 
A-right. 

A-wesome penned regards 
M-ake your mind remember 
A-ll the words they bring 
R-ight then and there. 
A-llow an acrostic to make 
N-othing but a fresh start; 
T-his rhyme moves softly 
O-n the way to your heart....

N-o reason to turn away, 
E-ternal life lies ahead; 
C-ries and tears shall turn
I-nto pure delight instead.
L-et not your heart turn away, 
Y-our birth has brought gladness; 
N-ineteenth day of June causes sheer happiness.

M-ake it to the journey's end, 
A-s you travel in this life; 
N-o reason to turn back, 
D-o overcome the strife.
A-llow not your mind to fret, 
P-lease God, obey His command; 
A-lways abound in faith
T-oward the promised land....
