A trace
Now forgotten
Simple memories lost
The pieces of a broken mind
Missing

Memories, you vow to keep forever
Wilting, dying, but leave you, never
Withered roses, from a love so true
Keeping them close to your heart, so blue
Try as you might, you cannot forget
A time in your life, you’ll never regret
Though dried up petals are all that remain
The sweetness of youth, you’ll always retain

Sitting under that big old tree
Reminiscing about younger days
Thinking back on how we were
How the time has slipped away
Remembering the past
How we held it oh so close
Laughter, love and memories
Was what we cherished most
Sunlight shines upon us now
With a warm and tender glow
Calling us to journey forth
We have so far to go
Yes! Change of plan, change of pace
We’ll relish the time ahead
We shall never forget who we were
But remember who we are, instead

Her photograph, faded, sepia tones
A rose, shriveled, now brittle and dry
Memories of her many loving ways
Made it harder to say goodbye
Time goes by much too quickly
In a blink of an eye, she was gone
Always the blossom, in my garden of life
Now the flowers are wilted and drawn
To have her plant just one more seed
I’d give anything, to let her know
That she is the reason I am me
From her love I’ve continued to grow
In loving memory of my grandmother, Nana Rose (June 1973) I love you and miss you more each day. ❤

The melody in her head, ever so clear
Memories, of him, she once held dear
Musical pieces, her heart, so shattered
Lyrics of love, now torn up and tattered
He left her with nothing, but ivory keys
Her soul filled with nothing, but ebony
Out of tune songs, that play in her head
The words; he’d forgotten, he ever said
