is it okay for me to have selective memory?

i mean monochrome days do become rainbows sometimes

don't they?

yes, yes, it's true

midnight came and went

my carriage did not turn into a pumpkin

but i still believed

the clouds asked me questions

the raindrops did not answer 

still i had faith

i still loved the orange-red-pink sunsets

and still saw your face in the clouds

the thing is

i have a pocketful of memories

and another filled with wishes

today i made a choice

to cherish them both

How wonderful your words are in this. It brought back memories of my mother and all the happy times we shared, looking at sunsets, watching the birds, planting flowers and just sitting on the porch in the summer talking until the fireflies came out. It is quite okay to not only have those selective memories but to cherish them as well. Here's to wishes and memories and dreams that may come true. Bless. F.

Perfect for me to stumble across this as I search for new writers to read.

Never give up hope. Go with the flow. Walk away with your head up and some good memories and lessons learned into that beautiful possibility- filled future.

Loved this so much.
