A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES~by Heather Burns

 

 

A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES

Oh! my friend
I remember
our times
together

Moments spent
as children
romping
on the beach

Gathering
shells for
our
collections

Talking
laughing
whispering
our little
secrets

Inside a heart
our initials
were carved

Left behind
to be washed
away by the
tide

In late years
walking in the
quite of the
evenng

Holding hands
stopping by
the lake

Watching
mother duck
gently
guiding her
babies across
the water.

Sharing our
most intimate
thoughts.
laying our
souls bare
to each other

The days of
our lives
slipped away
so quickly.

Moments so
precious
creating a
life-time
of memories.
