Memories

Lost in the memory of things so old

Like a simple touch or a word of love

The look on my Mother's face when she smiles

And the feel of her two little turtle doves.

The sound of my Father's laughter 

And the corny jokes he always told 

Memories of a life that seems long past

Do these memories make my heart grow cold?

Memories of my Mother's hugs 

She used to hold on so very tight

And my Father's kisses on top my head

And how he would say I was his little light.

My parents may be long gone 

But the memory of them remain 

I know they look upon me from above 

No more will the memories cause me pain

I will remember and cherish their love 

And bring that to my own family I will start

With the man I have chosen to be mine

Because it was him I have given my heart
