Dreams Come and Go but Memories Last

 Stack upon stack…are things we’ve said and done
And as we age and go along…
We see pictures of places and people and songs…
Wandering sometimes if we’ll ever belong…
Words and holidays and fragrances we embrace…
Traditions we keep are like tracks that we trace…
Hard times and good times with family and friends…
We continue to hope, that time will never end…
The spinning clock, it never stops…
Even if the hands get blocked…
Then one day we find…we’ve become old and displaced…
We sit in our recliners; reminisce of all those things…
Filled with sadness our memories bring…
Children grown and parents gone…
Soon we too, will take the long road home…
But until that day when life slips away…
We’ll have our memories where we laughed and played…
As silly giggles, fill the air…we dance and run and sing without a care…
Baseball and football and school days we share…dress up and make up and doing our hair
Hop scotch and dodge ball…Fall in the air…
Waiting for Santa Clause to bring toys everywhere…
Stories told by mom and dad…if only we could bring them back, we’d be so glad…
It doesn’t work like that…
Enjoy your life, let go of regret…memories are wonderful and we’re not dead yet…
Life is forever and the memories we keep, are precious and sweet, and we’ll never forget!
Memories last, so let go of regret!

Isaiah 46:9 KJV – Remember the former things of old: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else; [I am] God, and [there is] none like me, 
Proverbs 10:7 KJV – The memory of the just [is] blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
