COLLECTION OF MEMORIES

Collections of memories tucked safely away
Ready to be beckoned forth
To delight her being with untold experiences
Forgotten and lingering thoughts.

Cherished moments
Caught for a second and dismissed
Only to be recalled at some later time and place
For her collection of memories.

Remembering and reminiscing
Over days gone by and those still to be
Will fill her collection of memories.

Silent walks spent recalling her little girl dreams
Winters past, springs thought of
And with them unknown treasures
To share in her collection of memories.

What is this time that slips through open fingers
Unable to grasp, but safeguard...
This is her collection of memories.
