No further away than a picture
A smile or remembered phrase
Our loved ones live in memory...
So close in so many ways.
For how often does a sunset
Bring nostalgic thoughts to mind
Of moments that
Our loved ones shared
In days now left behind.
How often does a flower
Or a crystal autumn sky
Brought golden recollections
Of happy days gone by!
Yes, memory has a magic way
Of keeping loved ones near.
Ever close in mind and heart
Are the ones we hold most dear.
