Memories

Posted on May 28, 2012 at 4:15 PM

Happy memories flit through my mind
Of people and places in the past,
And contemplating them I find
That time has sped by entirely too fast!

Little things that I can recall,
Memories that are precious and dear,
Events that may seem large or small
Are sometimes fuzzy while others are clear.

Memories linger of special faces,
Sweet recollections I’ve often sought
Of loving smiles and tender embraces,
Pleasant remembrances filling each thought.

Each little joy and every sorrow
Will soon be only a memory,
But by making the most of today and tomorrow
Those memories will be the best they can be!

Connie, you're so right...time does go by too quickly, but we are so blessed to have some wonderful memories of wonderful times as well as some bad ones thrown in. Thanks for reminding me of every special memory I have.

Hi Connie. Another great poem. It reminds me of a scrapbook I made for my dad - every page represented a milestone in his life. He's gone now for over 3 years, but it makes me think of how life goes by quickly, just like turning pages in a scrapbook. God bless!

Who's that beautiful young lady dancing with that silver-haired gentleman? What a lucky guy you are, Tom! :- )

Connie, thanks for the memories stored in your beautiful poems!

Connie, your latest book arrived a few weeks ago. I'm still enjoying reading it, but soon I'll pass it along to Sue Daly. By then I might need to order another copy for myself; I'll let you know when.

This poem is very true! Time flies by fast. We should embrace each loving moment we have because tomorrow is never promised today. If we live life to the fullest, we can make happy memories. Thanks for sharing :)
