We hold on to sweet memories of long ago
Hoping that whatever we don’t know won’t show.
We hold on to words that our Mother would say.
But so many memories are gone from yesterday.
Pictures in our mind are not always easy to find.
For some, the passing years are not very kind.
We hold on to those lessons learned in first grade.
And all those friendships that we would never trade.
And to Good Health, we hold on tight.
As age reduces our hearing and eyesight.
Hold on to all those pictures and stories,
That helped create all those memories.
