Memories- Shaped By Words
I write upon so many things- but memories,
at rest within, oft surface neath veneers-
and happily, I've earned my share-
now in my eighth decade.
So from down deep, I reap emotions they still hold-
transform them into worded imagery.
With treasured feelings, sharing each fond memory,
I've written poems that I pray unfold
the loving-kindness so displayed
within my parents' care.
My captured thoughts of growing up during those years
do rise and flow as verbal melodies.
And too, my poetry brings forth dear reveries
of my own family; each member steers
the inner thoughts that help me bare
my gratefulness portrayed.
So I, for spouse and kids, grandkids, great-grand- remold
memories- shaped by words- so lovingly.
