SILENT TEARS

Midst joy and sadnes we cry ~ Silent tears... over the things we cannot change but accept.

                                SILENT TEARS

As time pases by ~ I cry,

when age and nature takes its course.

We live our lives in youthful days

always 'hip', following whatever craze.

Now as time goes on we realize ...

and recall the way it used to be ... 

                 was never utilize (d).

The chance to store and restore ~

the 'Paintings' we created in mind and

put value to ~ the da Vincis and the Monets

                  in our lives.

The seasons come and go >>>We plant seeds that

          grow and may flourish 

or be washed away by the tides and perish.

I say to the youth of today, "Make the most of life

life while you can, if you can because who knows

             what tomorrow will bring!"

Store up memories of happier brighter days

ones you can recall with joy in your heart ~

             without "Silent Tears".

A nice parable.

Memories and time; forever symbiotic twins. Youth is for making the memories that we will cherish in our older age. But memories can also be created in days when we no longer think it possible. Young or old we must always be open to the experiences.

I enjoyed the message. Nice work.

I agree, we can still make lasting memories as time goes on but nostalgia is in the tried and tested. Thank you for a lovely review.

I agree.

The above lines. My grandfather told me similar words often. We need memories. Thank you Kitty for sharing your amazing words and thoughts.

i don't think youth really does make the best of now---and they will regret that in future....we may have made choices we wish had been different, because we have those "what if's" ---but we did make the most of our time, and need to remember that also.

i can feel this one deeply---lots of those memories...and the wondering...just one thing...second line i read the "it's" as "its"---

but yes. we need to store more happy memories than sad ones...or find some of the joy contained in the sad ones.

An excellent message to savour & cherish life's gifts both in youth and beyond, lovely piece

[kitty]

Thank you for visiting my humble page. The youth of today feel that they should be able to make their own mistakes and not be influeced by the older generation.

[Gee]

Youth is spent doing quickly things we savour and take our time over as we age.
Nostalgia is always rose tinted.
Hi Kitty, enjoyed the read.

Who said youth was wasted on the young.
I suppose when you're young, you're making the memories. But I suppose time changes all that.

Thank you for dropping by and reviewing. Yes you are right memories will continue to stay with us.

Very emotional and touching. The title seems to be very perfect for the prose.

Cry a little, smile a little, sigh a little, laugh a lot. Wonderful cocktail! Live life to the fullest.

Couldn't agree more my Lovely, I almost feel sorry for the youngsters who have to fight their way through what I see as a nightmare. We were lucky but then our young lives would not suit the youngsters of today. The last two stanzas sum it up perfectly. Well written, well rhymed and ver educational. thank you for sharing. Rod.

Discussion recently over family meal was about how fortunate the kids of today are...in so many, many ways. Cherish the 'good old days'

[lightsong]

Heart-touching, heartwarming with deep silent tears of gratitude and appreciation...
