Memories Poem by Colin Ian Jeffery

Memories ebb and flow
Reminders of joys and sorrows
Lovers and decisions
Made before embracing old age
Crippling slowing faltering steps.

Memories crystal clear
Faces of those long dead
Parents, brothers, sisters
Schoolmates, friends, and lovers
Beloved pets, favourite childhood toys.

Rolling tide of memories
Ebb and flow within mind and soul
Reliving love and joys of yesterday
Sadness they are memories
Never sweetly to relive again.
