Array ( [sid] => 26004 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Memories of the Mind [time] => 2003-10-29 07:50:56 [hometext] => all poems i write are related one way or another to alzheimers, a tragedy all need to be aware of [bodytext] => i came across a picture the other day folded by age
one i hadnt seen in so many years and almost forgotten
as i looked at the picture so many thoughts came to mind
the tears fell freely down my cheeks as memories flowed
all these memories of the mind

i remember stories told of the day this picture was taken
and as the memories flowed the sequence began
i remember tales of the trip by boat to this nation
of the first home with a white picket fence all around
all these memories of the mind

i remember the swing set in the back how high i could go
special fondness for our collie dog how i loved thim
my graduation day i thought i was so grown up
my wedding day i swore she cried a bucket of tears
all these memories of the mind

my first child how proud they were to finally be grandparents
a twist of fate when alzheimers hit my momma
we burried her yesterday now the memories stop
the picture i found was momma cuddling her first born child
all these memories of the mind [comments] => 1 [counter] => 209 [topic] => 39 [informant] => maryetta [notes] => (Approved by Mod_1) [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )
