Memories - picture frames of our lives.
Who we were - whom we have grown to be.
We all have them, good ones, bad ones.
Triggered at a moments notice by
Sounds, colors, seasons, music, or names.
Special days invite memories of those who
Care, were sensitive to your hearts wishes.
Great memories light up the eyes and makes
Your heart smile when moments are recalled.
If loved ones live totally in self
Controlled by fears and negative thoughts,
Events will be empty, shallow, painful.
Opportunities lost -- needless hurts.
My faith in God allows me to delight in
The good memories, refusing time and energy
On bad ones. Nothing can change it.
Life is too short, Rise above it.
Memories are made by emotional touches
Reach out with kindness, forgiveness, love
Dare to touch a picture frame of life.
