In the autumn of a life
Reflections come forward
Memories
buried deep
In the most beautiful fabric
of the heart
in the soul
Saved, Cherished there
Wanting to remember them all
the good and the bad
The happiest and saddest
I tug to bring them forward
Many make me smile
Others tear at the very essence
of a soul
tattered and torn
A face of a Child
A friend
A loved one
Remembering a stranger
Whose passing broke your heart
You didn't know them
But the unfairness of it
Shatters your heart
As if it was your own
It was mine, one of them was
Mine
Pulling words
once said to me
In the Autumn of Life
I want to remember all of it
Nothing can be lost
It is forever mine!
No one, nothing can take it
The years passed are gone
never to return
But the Memories in my Heart
Shall always steadfastly be held
In the finest fabric
of my heart
in my soul
In the Autumn of my Life
