Those Times, When Memories Are Better Than Gold
Those times, when memories are better than gold
there is worth in finding such a lost thought
Remembering youthful energy, affirms I am now old
if only distant time could be stored and bought!
What of a bright future, that may not ever appear
past loves can hold ever closer future hopes
Looking back, so often can nullify greatest fear
no avalanche on memories brightened slopes!
Let the mind find its begging and desired road
such soft magic in our memorable day dreams
Can change the ugly prince into a beautiful toad
living in and around bubbling cool streams!
Alas! Curse the forgetting shadow of despair
where snow is always a blizzard so deep
Think again, see the color of her eyes and hair
remember greatest treasure before sleep!
Those times, when memories are better than gold
there is worth in finding such a lost thought
Remembering youthful energy, affirms I am now old
if only distant time could be stored and bought!
