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

Nightmares

Awakened memories
Sunken dreams once buried

Washed ashore

On the crashing of waves
Invading inner sanctity

Drowning tranquility

Ever rolling in again
With the endless tide

Goodbye twenty seventeen

Your final days, eclipsed

By bitter clouds of snow

Dancing, swirling about

Making us long for the warmth

Of a springtime shower, or

The glow of the sun against

The blue waters of the ocean

Blankets spread out, picnics

And Frisbee, kites flying

And castles built in the sands

Time slips by, again and again

Goodbye twenty seventeen

Memories of you fade quickly

As a new year brings promise

Of much brighter tomorrows
