Memories in a stake
Lisa Garman 1965 (Ct.)
Memories are our lifeline to our past,
But for some people they dont seem to last.
When were a child we consume all,
Even from that first bounce of a ball.
Life moves on and so do we,
Some hope to be all we could be.
When we get older we reminisce of times gone by,
We smile, we cry and sometimes we wonder why.
I pray we can keep all our memories in tact,
Then we can keep them all in a stack.
About this poem
I felt that it had to be wrote after taking care of my elderly mother who suffered with dementia. She couldn't even remember my name somedays and I was her baby of 5 kids.
