SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY
I took a trip in memory today
And travelled down the years
There was laughter to behold,
And eyes to wipe from tears.
In memory I strayed over time,
Stood and opened my heart’s door,
I gazed and I recalled
The way things were before.
It made me stop and look at life
And the things that bring me pleasure,
The days when emotion was high
And I made memories to treasure.
I walked in fields of daffodils,
Felt the sea wind on my face,
Kicked through autumn leaves
And saw spider webs of lace.
I once more held a baby
And smelled the fragrance sweet,
There were diamonds in my sky
And flowers at my feet.
I sat and talked in friendship
Quiet confidence and trust,
I watched the river on its bar
Saw fire, flood and dust.
I let a year pass before me
Saw the seasons come and go,
Saw the best of sentimental treasures
That my heart will ever know.
No jewels here of earthly value~
No fortune to be spent,
Just the best of my hearts treasures
That Heaven ever sent.
