Living Memories

 



A Friend scores another birthday

Media wishes pour in

Lives have gone to distant places

Grandparent status, dear old faces.

And just for moments thoughts range back

To school or sport or silly antics.

The growing up was so fast, so carefree.

By now there have been trials

And surgeries and losses

And high spots of adventure 

Or loving reflection.

Do we really want years to roll back?

I’m thinking not.

Let thanksgiving quicken what we have got.

The sand in the glass ennui

Should not apply.

Grace inherits the Sky.
