Memories “can never be taken” and yes, we should hold on to the precious ones and cherish them. Beautiful thoughts you expressed here, Kurt.
Thank you, Phyllis, your kind words are much appreciated. Feeling a tad blue of late, and remembering what was, is always fuel for the poet in me.
Here is a hug for you! and remember, Kurt: each day is a blessing in ways you may not see right away but will eventually.
Awww Phyllis, thanks for the hug my friend – it is much needed and appreciated!
Time is a powerful force. Excellent verse my friend. Jamie
