I feel like I have untouchable memories that keep calling me making me feel like I can almost remember but just out of reach.
When looking at strangers on the street sometimes I see a face and get the feeling that I should know who they are.
There are times where a stranger will stare at me as if they do know me or give a look as if they feel that they know me and have had strangers think that I'm someone they've known for years.
Children seem to want to be around me almost like they see me as a kid or for some reason feel that they can trust me.
I wish I knew how to get those untouchable memories, I am growing tired of feeling like I can almost remember something that feels like it is just out of reach.
I keep feeling that I am alone given those memories. I feel like I'm alone in a sea of strangers who think that they know me and would like to know if those untouchable memories are the reason given that I feel like I can almost remember as I dance around life

until our paths cross again
Until our paths cross again
Even though this short period of time flew by so quickly it seems like
An eternity has passed since you left
As the days go by the pain lessens with time but it never really subsides
Even as the memories we hold so dear seem to fade into memories that appear
Long ago and far away that we try so hard to recall
While we learn to go on with out you in our lives we can never really forget
Your treasured friendship, your valued insight and your unwavering
Love that was always unending
Though you are gone we all look forward to the day that God has set aside for you
To be there to welcome us home and until that day we wish you the best of journeys
That will bring you back to us that day that our paths with cross again
Even though this short period of time flew by so quickly it seems like
An eternity has passed since you left
As the days go by the pain lessens with time but it never really subsides

Love that was always unending
Though you are gone we all look forward to the day that God has set aside for you
To be there to welcome us home and until that day we wish you the best of journeys
That will bring you back to us that day that our paths with cross again

Dancing with Memories
Dancing with Memories
Dancing there remembering those times that happened so long ago
You can almost remember those that have held you close in their arms
From long ago and how safe and warm it felt then
As you dance there you show your dance partner how strong those memories are
By happily giving the same embrace that has kept your memories alive and well even
Though those feelings stretch from long ago and far away which allows your
Dance partner to add to those memories and making them stronger

the yesterdays, today's and tomorrows
The Yesterdays, Today’s and Tomorrows
In the yesterdays, we were shown that we could be lifted up out of the fear
That we have allowed ourselves to get use to from never knowing
We learn in the todays that we can use those voices from the past that we had
Let go unheard due to not wanting to hear the truths that we didn’t want to know
Fighting for the tomorrows, we find that the things we wanted left untold has given us
A fire beneath our skin that can only be dealt with using a gentle hand that allows that fire
To ignite a passion that in turn teaches others that there is more than the fear and the
Anger that they hold inside which keeps them from experiencing unconditional love

a playground in your memories
A playground in your memories
As time goes by and you find that you are yearning for something that cannot
Be explained you find that the best thing to do is remember the good times that
You always seemed to have when you were a child and had no worries other
Than whether your friends could come out and be there with you to keep you company
When you go home and pass by all those places that held some special meaning
To you in your childhood you cannot help but stop and relive in you memory all of
The good times you had there while saying to yourself I remember calling you friend
To that one spot as you wish to yourself that you could return to your playground
The way that it was, when you were young
Even though it use to be the one place you could go, you quietly realize that
You cannot return to your playground, the one place where you know your innocence
Still lives and the one place where no matter your pain you were able to hold your
Head up high from the comfort it gave through those friendships you forged
And those hardships pushed aside even for those short periods of fun and laughter
And even though you know you can’t go back you realize that your childhood wishes,
Your childhood dreams all came true, making you the person you are today,
A person who now sees that same happiness in their children and wishing that they
To create some of those same memories with their friends

Memories through the window
Memories though the window
As you sit there safe and warm looking through the window that looks like a vale
You look out into the darkness remembering the fond memories that happened long
Ago and far away hoping that those days can come again
As the memories come into focus they seem to pirouette as if dancing just out of reach
And as you allow yourself to remember you find that they are able to give you a
Sense of happiness that you have long since forgotten
As the memories go by one by one you feel as if someone is there holding you
Comforting you hoping that they are ready to sweep you away to allow you to relive
Those memories and as the moment passes you almost feel a kiss that is like a loved one
Saying good bye yet saying I will always be with you
As you sit there safe and warm looking through the window that looks like a vale
You look out into the darkness remembering the fond memories that happened long
Ago and far away hoping that those days can come again
As the memories come into focus they seem to pirouette as if dancing just out of reach
And as you allow yourself to remember you find that they are able to give you a
Sense of happiness that you have long since forgotten
As the memories go by one by one you feel as if someone is there holding you
Comforting you hoping that they are ready to sweep you away to allow you to relive
Those memories and as the moment passes you almost feel a kiss that is like a loved one
Saying good bye yet saying I will always be with you

a picture
A Picture
A picture can be something to remind us of the happy
Memories from our youth
A picture can be can be something of a sorry reminder
From somewhere in our past
A picture can be of our favorite places, the places we have visited
Or of the loved ones that we so cherish
A picture can show us a great many things depending on
When we see them
A picture lets us relive the fun times in our lives which allows
Us to remember the smallest detail of our most treasured
Of memories
A picture is a piece of the canvas for which we call our lives
That are pieced together as we grow older

the times of our lives
The time of our lives
As little kids time always seems to go on forever and ever
Even as our parents try to teach us that there is a time for everything
As kids time just keeps going and going yet we always rush to get as much fun
Into the days in between the things we must do
As teens, time is something we never have enough of when it comes to
Doing the things that we want to do
As young adults we are always trying to find the time to do all of the things
That we never seem to have the time to do even when it comes to things we love
As we settle into adulthood time seems to blur the line between the days so that they
Seem to blend together when we don’t want them too yet drag on when we
Don’t expect them too
After we are old and grey we reflect on the times of our lives that still remain with us after
All this time only to wonder where did all of the time go
As little kids time always seems to go on forever and ever

Tribulations and Questions
Tribulations and Questions
As life’s tribulations weigh on you mind and the questions show in your eyes
You can’t help but feel lost or alone
As the people who know you, see you with your heavy burden, they start wondering
If you’ll be ok and show you that they will be beside you all the way
As they come to your side you can’t help but cry those happy tears showing everyone
That you care that they are there to be beside you and to guide you all the way
And as time turns the page you feel the weight being lifted off of your shoulders
And the questions fading only to become a distant memory which is all but forgotten
And as life’s tribulations and the questions in your eyes are but fleeting memories
You find that you have one question left which is how to show your gratitude
Even when your friends are telling you only a simple thank you is needed
As life’s tribulations weigh on you mind and the questions show in your eyes
You can’t help but feel lost or alone
As the people who know you, see you with your heavy burden, they start wondering
If you’ll be ok and show you that they will be beside you all the way
As they come to your side you can’t help but cry those happy tears showing everyone
That you care that they are there to be beside you and to guide you all the way
And as time turns the page you feel the weight being lifted off of your shoulders
And the questions fading only to become a distant memory which is all but forgotten
And as life’s tribulations and the questions in your eyes are but fleeting memories
You find that you have one question left which is how to show your gratitude
Even when your friends are telling you only a simple thank you is needed

Memories
a single moment can create a that can be so good that
you cannot help but reminisce years later or wish that, that
moment never happened
a memory can be a great source of comfort in a time of need
or it can be a great source of pain when things are at their worst
a memory can give you solice in knowing that you helped
someone out in a time of need
a memory can be something that can drive you to be your
best when no one expects you to be there
a memory can push people away or draw them in when
you share it with them
a memory when shared can be a source of strength
to others that need a moral boost
in the end our memories are the stories of our lives that
make us who we are and enrich our lives

Safe and Warm
Safe and Warm
When your heart wants to remember, you feel a yearning for what you use
To know, that comes from the memories you hold dear inside.
The feeling of wanting to be safe and warm in someone’s arms comes over you
As your heart yearns to recall those times when you had someone who would
Be there for you and you for them
As the memories try coming back to you a wave of pure happiness comes to life inside
That helps bring back the memories, the memories of the people who have kept
You safe and warm under their wings allowing love to grow inside while allowing you
To become the person they need in return
As the memories start coming back it is only the happy memories that come back giving
You the strength to be who you must while finding someone who can keep you safe
And warm when you need them there
When your heart wants to remember, you feel a yearning for what you use
To know, that comes from the memories you hold dear inside.
The feeling of wanting to be safe and warm in someone’s arms comes over you
As your heart yearns to recall those times when you had someone who would
Be there for you and you for them
As the memories try coming back to you a wave of pure happiness comes to life inside
That helps bring back the memories, the memories of the people who have kept
You safe and warm under their wings allowing love to grow inside while allowing you
To become the person they need in return
As the memories start coming back it is only the happy memories that come back giving
You the strength to be who you must while finding someone who can keep you safe
And warm when you need them there

in memorium to my Aunt Peggy 1947-2007
A Sense of Loss
As people come and go in our lives you find out who is important in your
Life and as they leave the ones who are important to you they leave a void that
Cannot be filled by memories of them
When the time comes to say good bye you find that you dread in the fact that you
Will not be with them again in this life and as you muster the strength to face the
Long good bye a feeling of emptiness ascends upon you making you want to hold them tight not
Wanting to let them go
After they are gone a sense of loss sets in with you wishing that it were raining to hide the
Tears in your eyes and all you want to do is find a dark corner to hide in to get away from the
Pain that you feel inside
As the realization sets in of them being gone you start to accept that they are not coming back and
As time goes by the pain may seem less intense yet all the while still feeling the sense of loss
From the void and the only real comfort comes in knowing that they are truly still will us as long as we can still feel the love and remember them and keep them in out hearts
In time we find out how important they were to us through the realization that we find that we
Can still feel them with us even years later just as strongly as if they were still with us standing
Beside us and are there to bring us home when we are called to be with them again
As people come and go in our lives you find out who is important in your
