Memories

One of the most treasured of God's gifts: memories ...

the memory of a happy moment,

the memory of a heart rending episode,

memories of time well-spent,

or with friends at a lovely abode;

times and events recollected, replayed, relived,

people and faces remembered, recalled, revived;

"A day is never over if it makes a memory ..."

as someone once put it, in words well-remembered;

whatever that's put into memory, none can erase:

for whatever that's in the mind, forever stays ...
