Old memories never die...

Memories keep my heart alive...

Life is passing day by day and we are getting older

Our hair will grow white, our eyes will no more be bright

People now close to heart will then be far apart

Surrounded by new faces, old ones will be lost

All will be new, all will be bright

But what will I do alone in that bright light?

Nay nay... not alone

I will be cherishing something most treasured

Something that will always be mine, no matter what happens..

I will keep them close to my heart

Always mine always mine

Those will be my Good Old Memories

Of the people I loved and of the people who loved....

Surely, time flies even faster then we anticipate and what is left behind are mere memories. In this race of life we hastes to get to a point, to be 'someone', without acknowledging the moments and people we are blessed with. In the end we do reach our goal but it is then we realize that we have left behind our beloved ones that, once we thought, were holding us back from this race. As you have said,
'All will be new, all will be bright
But what will I do alone in that bright light?'
...life is not merely a race to get to a point, it's a journey in which not a single moment can't be forgotten.

Indeed Saman, you artistically summarized all feelings and thoughts hidden behind these few words of mine.. :)

Love is always beautiful and never lonely. I would work in stanzas, it reads more fluently and more comprehensable. Although it's a beautiful poem. Well done. :)

I find this enjoyable and quite true. I don't know your age, but you seem very aware of life in later years. We travel far in our journey, and memories are invaluable.

Memories are such sweet remembrances....they get us through the bad times and make us smile even when the world is dark. Those we loved and who loved us back never really leave us. What a warm write this is. Lovely. Lydi**
