My heart flies high on silvered wings
As I embrace rememberings
For all on earth I have not seen
And places that I haven’t been.
Like memories forever lost
It matters not whate’er the cost
Some visions I will never know
Are those that I choose to forego !
Good morning world I’d like to say
I wish you all a bonnie day
With hugs and kisses in between
Lots of love and sweet whipping cream.
A bit of chocolate everywhere
The smell of taffy in the air
But what I think I’d like the most
A walk in sand along the coast,
Remembering those days long gone
Recalling life’s lost halcyon !
All of my life I have been told
There is no cure for growing old
It’s just the sum of all we’ve known
Of words we’ve said and deeds we’ve sown.
Tis sad to think we leave this race
About the time we find our pace
Without some help we can’t be sure
And so my dear seems there’s no cure
Except wherein we bid goodbye
When we’ve been told ’tis time to die.
Wild elephants just trudge the way
To where their tusks and bones do lay
Since we are sage and civilized
Our resting place is canonized.
Such a cheerful face and a ready smile
She made my young life so much more worth while
And was always there when I craved advice
With a hug and a kiss not once but twice.
Rose arrived in July of ninety-five
Born just two pounds no one thought she’d survive
She surprised them all and was fine by spring
But never grew tall, just a tiny thing.
She raised five brothers and a niece or two
Looked after her dad and her mother too
She’d knit and crochet and even tat lace
That smile we all loved remained on her face.
Through her very long life she kept her cheer
Dear old Aunt Rose how I wish you were here!
