THE HILLS & THE VALLEYS

THE HILLS & THE VALLEYS

A Poem by kitty
"

Experiences that makes us glad to have had: though at times they seem to make us sad.

"
                             THE HILLS  & THE VALLEYS
You took me up on that mountain:
showed me things I'd never known.

My stay there was only transitory:
I clung to the good times ~ to get over 
the bad times I had been shown.

You held my hand firmly ~ I was assured.
You said you'd never fail me, protect me
         from all bad things unknown.

You played a sweet melody on that old guitar.
It took me up the hills and down the valleys too:
    in a land that is so very far from view.

I'll cherish those good times - they've become 
                     most dear
for if things did go wrong ~ you'd make them right.
  I'd gently squeese my pillow, way into the night.

            Life was at it's best ....
I'll cherish those moments - till I am finally laid to rest!

oh my dear... You almost brought my tears with the beauty and gracefulness of Your words, it's easy to stay in these happy moments, the hard part is to keep them alive for all the times to come, it's so painful at times... but with the grateful faithful spirit as Your, only someone like her could write these words here, I love the tittle, the dream that is still alive no matter what... Thank You for touching my heart with Your words.

I really enjoyed this poem and the story it tells. And you are correct about those memories, whether sad or happy always somehow become good memories. Your poem was beautiful, it felt real and what a wonderful experience. I could see this play out as I read.

The love I have for Wales is only second to the one I have for the 'land of my birth!'
I agree - we all reminisce about good (and even bad) memories. They are what made us who we are - shaped us and helped us grow :)
