The Library Of My Fond Memories
I only hope if I was given one moment, just a single slice of my past
I could then hold it tightly forever so that moment would always last
I would like to put those moments in a safe, within my hearts abode
So I could open it when I wanted it and only I would know the code
I could choose a time of laughing and my times of happiness and fun
I could choose a time that thrilled me, through everything I have done
I sat and thought about what moment, would always make me smile
One that would always motivate me and let me to walk that extra mile
If ever I am feeling sad and low, if am struggling with something to do
I could go and open my little safe, and watch all my moments through
There are moments I can think of, that would lift my spirits every time
The moments when I am picked up, when the road was hard to climb
I do not wish to only pick one moment, to cherish, love, save and keep,
Then I know it would prove really difficult, as I have gathered up a heap
I have dug deep inside my heart, found that little safe and looked inside
There was room for lots of moments, in fact it can fit hundreds if I tried
I am now building my own fondest library which is embedded in my heart
It’s for all the moments spent with my beloved wife before she had to part
I know I can open it up whenever I like, pick a moment and review my life
My little library of fond memories acts as a promise, I'll never forget my wife.
