Of any given place
Any place on Earth
Change over the course of time
But no change to it’s worth
For only if you were there
At a given time
That place would make you feel
What you felt at that moment in time
Take a picture there
Save it where you put loved things
Take that picture back fifty years later
Change you’ll see in everything
Many years can pass
But the memory of that place
Will stay with you forever
Bring a smile to your face
Cherish those memories
For that place
Will continue to change
Change to a new space

So true AP, those places in memories are so special but if you go back they may well have changed.

That's just it Andy, the places always change over time, but the way it was when you were there will live forever in your heart. ❤️
Ohh, how will things ever change for the better with KP?! heehee.
You could walk away from KP. 🤔
But she has tied a ball and chain to my leg and thrown away the key! lol.
Pick the lock Orchi, unless you'd rather stay with her. You know you'd miss her. 🤣
Yes lol.
What a lovely subject dear A.P I often go back to places I have been as a child especially when I'm visiting London, what my memory and records are is in adulthood change because of course we ourselves have changed physically and mentally. There are also some places I would never wish to revisit in my mind nor in person. Such a wonderful subject hitting many buttons on my mind, living away from home has many perks and I do keep the memories I choose. I really appreciate how deep this one can be and what it would also mean to you to go back in time 56 years to that famous spot where love began. 🌹
Thank you Teddy for your thoughtful reply and memories, I always enjoy knowing that I have brought back fond memories for others, I just noticed that the photo I added to this poem wasn't there, so I tried it again and it still wouldn't load. And because of your suggestion I thought of adding that photo, but decided against it in order to save that photo for a poem specifically about that place and time in my life. Thank you Teddy for being the inspiration for that one. 🫂👍
A lovely picture you have posted brings serenity and peace 🌹
You inspired me to write about where and when my heart ceased to be a virgin, and soon as MPS time will let me post it, it will be done with the photo you suggested above. 😉👍
A lovely write, AP.
Thanks Tom, appreciate the read and your compliment. 😉👍
Change is inevitable; memories are forever! I love it 🥰
Yes you got it GenXer. Thank you for reading and commenting. 👍
Your words truly bring to life the essence of memories held within places! It's amazing how each spot has its own story, memories stay fresh even as the years roll by, bridging the past, present, and future. Your poem is simply fantastic!
Thank you Cloie, this poem came to me by way of my strolling through the woods of my childhood neighborhood where everything had changed with overgrowth and none of the trails and paths were still visible. I just couldn't believe how vivid the memory was in my mind, but standing there it was no where to be seen. 😉
Never go back because it can be so disappointing. We did, my brother and I visited our childhood home again shortly he died. We sat in the car on the opposite side of the road trying to salvage our memories. I’ll never go back again. It had changed beyond recognition. A poem of nostalgia. Thank you AP. Hope your day has been a good one so far.
Thanks Cassie, yes my stroll through the old neighborhood woods didn't look like I remember it. Thanks for reading and commenting. 👍
One thing that doesn't change is your ability to produce these gems
Great read
Ha, thank you Peto, nice to know I'm on the right track. 😉👍
During COVID, when my husband and I were limited to car rides, we took one on a Sunday afternoon, back to the neighborhood where I grew up, oddly 50 years ago. As you have so eloquently said, everything had changed, but was also the same in my memories. I told him "this is where, and that is gone, but I remember when". Thank you for this stroll down memory lane, for that never changes. Such a great write!
Thank God for memories eh Bella? Thanks for reading. 👍
its the only constant in an ever evolving globe .. and I feel it more and more these days .. Neville
As do we all N. Thanks for the read and your unique perspective. 😉👍
"Change over the course of time
But no change to it’s worth"
Well penned AP.
Thanks Meera. The real worth is in your heart. 😉👍
