PRECIOUS MEMORIES

nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

When there cannot
Be tomorrow
Think of me
Without the sorrow
Old men die
Children are left
But all your love
Inside me kept.

Upon my journey
Who can say
Except those
Along this way
To travel on
Who knows where
I wrap myself
Inside your care.

Lift your heads
Try not to weep
Our precious memories
Hold and keep
Love I feel
Can never die
Its with me
As now I fly.

    Good write N. And now - Precious memories too, of when buses would pass by, and even stop at bus stops. Must have been a long time ago - about 200 years?! lol.

    A clever and catchy rhyme is delivered in this poetic report of holding onto love through life and into death. Nicely done my friend

    Norman, this really moved me. There’s such tenderness in facing death through love rather than fear…quiet, heartfelt, and deeply human. Beautiful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
