Memories In A Song Poem by rita alyson petts

I look at your photograph on the wall
And I'm in your arms again
It's as if you never left at all
For one lovely moment, then
I come down to earth and realize
You are not here with me at all
But locked up in my memory
and the photo on the wall


Memories never are destroyed
And a simple song revives
The love, the tears, the smiles, the joys
Are with us all our lives

So as years go by, don't sit and sigh
Even though the days seem long
Just turn on the music and soon they'll return
Your memories in a song.
