The most prized possessions
That I could ever own,
Are the memories that I've collected;
They are mine and mine alone.
No one can ever take from me
The days I spent with friends by the sea.
Or the night I caught my very first fish,
And turned it into a sumptuous dish;
The many times I danced the night away,
Newly found friends that I knew were here to stay;
A smile from a stranger so many years ago,
A dedication from my sister at a Karaoke show;
The wonder of nature, a walk in the rain,
The memory of a lost love and all its pain;
The birth of my nephew, then later with his first toy,
A kiss from my husband when he was just a boy;
But the most precious memory- the one that is the best,
Is the joy I felt the first time I held Celina against my breast.

Your poem is incredibly kind, sweet, and filled with precious memories.

It brought tears to my eyes.

Your life has been filled with great memories and I can see how much you treasure each and every one.

Wonderful poem in every sense.

This poem at fist looked like a sumptuous dish..but next it became a precious pearl with lustrous memories..
"A kiss from my husband when he was just a boy" this lovely line made me smile..
This poem is a sweet treasure of your happiest memories!..
The conclusion with little beauty Celina is the most beautiful part and it makes the title meaningful .
Best wishes..with love :-)venkat
