In our lives we have memories,
This tells us that yesterday remains.
As long as we have hope
We know that tomorrow waits.
And as long as we have love in our life
We know that today will be beautiful.

A fine write Gold.
That song starts me blubbing.
So does any song I sing, to anyone who hears it - cos it's me that's singing it! lol
Thanks Orchi. That is a very meaningful song.

For fun and exploration of etymology I read this poem out loud twice with an opposite voice each time. First was a winsome whisper , and the phrases danced eagerly with shy optimism that this HOPE will be reached , skipping roads that traveled through doubt and it was a satisfying belief, a mantra sent to serve for more and many days. Then opposite and starkly different was the VOICE OF A COMMAND. AN IMAGINED Authoritative figure delivered loudly each phrase, it unloaded with a Practiced certainty as if this metaphorical Roadmap was critical to follow The underlying suggestive “other “,, a corralled distasteful failure, much like a visit to Dante’s regions of hell. “Win One For The Gipper” as Rockne desperatelly Cajoled, imminent destruction a General’s pleas to leap from the abyss , from this VOICE we listened and achieved.
Many thanks for exploring my words Bobby, they can mean so many different things.

You’re nicer than me. I’m less patient w how my lines are interpreted. I’m working to get better at that whole patience thing.
Thank you dear poet for this beautiful blossom of hope. On a day when I really need it , it lifts me up.
My absolute pleasure Bella, thank you.

Just glad that many of these memories have been put to song and poem.
Thank you CB.
