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.
