Memories past, current and those to be - can and
should be cultivated, treasured, revered for
the prizes they are, and secondly for the
value they bring to life. The harvest of memory
brings intrinsic wealth to every age,
for there is much recorded there.
Memory is the "every person" of life, there
may be pain, panic, remorse, shame, there
may be joy, laughter, satisfaction,
memory crowns individualism and honors every
joining that has been shaken off or
embraced throughout life.
I named memory a healing grace when I heard
my own father say, "Smelling that recipe, brings
back sixty years of memories."
May memory's providential nature bring
every gift its just reward and offer healing
for the difficulties, for there is nothing as it truly is except
the memory of it says so.
So, as days lengthen and sunset
draws near, may memory be the annuity that pays
the greatest dividends of life's
hope, dream and passion.

a wonderful blessing.
thank you for sharing,
Ah yes, yes, yes to all of the above; well said. I particularly enjoy "harvest of memory."
Just today I had a sensory memory - leaving a parking garage, the scent of exhaust made me remember the time I spent in my grandpa's wrecking yard and my dad's garage.
Brilliant feature God included in us.
"Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you."
Lovely, Larry!
great sentiment here...(chuckling) I think of how much I do not remember, often even why I left one room to enter another....blissful the task of remembering
