Memories of the Mind

Contributed by maryetta on Wednesday, 29th October 2003 @ 07:50:56 AM in AEST
Topic: Grief

i came across a picture the other day folded by age
one i hadnt seen in so many years and almost forgotten
as i looked at the picture so many thoughts came to mind
the tears fell freely down my cheeks as memories flowed
all these memories of the mind

i remember stories told of the day this picture was taken
and as the memories flowed the sequence began
i remember tales of the trip by boat to this nation
of the first home with a white picket fence all around
all these memories of the mind

i remember the swing set in the back how high i could go
special fondness for our collie dog how i loved thim
my graduation day i thought i was so grown up
my wedding day i swore she cried a bucket of tears
all these memories of the mind

my first child how proud they were to finally be grandparents
a twist of fate when alzheimers hit my momma
we burried her yesterday now the memories stop
the picture i found was momma cuddling her first born child
all these memories of the mind
