SWEETEST MEMORIES

MEMORIES OF YOU - FOR MY FATHER..

A string of pearls,

A suit of blue.

A red red rose ~

Sweet memories of you.

A “baby” doll,

A doll carriage too.

A red tricycle ~

Sweet memories of you.

A tiny camp stove,

A cricket test match too,

Shopping at a market ~

Sweet memories of you.

Reading some poetry,

Listening to music you knew,

Discussing and debating ~

Sweet memories of you.

A blushing bride,

“Are you sure of what you do?”

Sunshine and laughter ~

Sweet memories of you.

A broken windscreen,

In a car that’s very new.

Sharing pain and sorrow ~

Sweet memories of you.

A lady you adored,

Who also loved you too.

Reconciliation

Sweet memories of you.

An empty space,

A silence new.

I miss you very much

But I have sweet memories of you.
