Day 5 - Memories

The past two days have been spent in “looking back” through the years when we were discovering a medical issue with my husband – dementia.  Looking ahead more information about his illness will be shared along with more of our journey!

But for today, I wanted to take a break and share a poem I wrote titled “Memories” – and what are memories if not for looking back to remember and share them!  I do a lot of sharing memories through my creative outlet – scrapbooking!!  Why I am not sharing 31 Days of Scrapbooking is beyond me; but I know that sharing my journey with Dementia’s Demands is needed – for me if not for others out there as well!!  Thanks for journeying with me!

Memories

 by Barbara London

Looking back –

See the faces –

The memories you hold;

Hear the voices –

The times you shared.

Looking back –

How young you were!

How beautiful and lively;

Your hair was dark;

Your eyes – they sparkled,

With the love within your heart.

Looking back –

See the faces;

Hear the voices;

Remember the good times –

And the bad.

These memories you cherish –

You hold within your heart –

Always,

And forever.
