Memories

I see
them,
clear as
day.
Smiling.
Laughing.
Crying.
Life etched
on their
being!
As they
were.
I see
them
as the
were,
so many
years ago.
So many
lives embedded
on my mind.
There, they
still live.
Slipping away
as the
years pass
by.
All journey
to life's
end.
Fading
into history
as if
never here.
I see them
still, as they
were so
many years
ago!

This is such an excellent poem, I'm surprised that I'm the first one to leave a comment. It's a brilliant piece and actually quite moving....it reminds me of a quote that I heard some years ago. "It's hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember."

Well done, great stuff! :)

This is a precious, heartfelt & honest reflection of how most of us tend to look backwards more & more as the years go by. For many, the present shrinks in old age, so the things that happened before stand out even more. You capture this with a tender presentation that honors this human tendency (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
