~ Let's Create A Memory ~
Just for now let's share all that we have
Come spend a moment, a little time with me.
Send our sadness far away
Stay warm in heaven's glow in the beauty that we see
Revive our souls in gentle tones
Watch butterflies at play
Toss feathers to the sky... See how they pirouette, softest sighs
floating on streams that gurgle by
Our fingers in the foam
Dragging in the current.... It doesn't matter why-
Horses gallop rainbows in the sky
We're creating memories to keep, to tuck inside
Forever hide
Come, let's sit among the flowers and create a dreamy memory
Just you and I....

~ Browsing For Treasure ~
How special are the romantic nick-knacks tucked within a country store,
We never know what bric-a-brac to discover, behind the old bell-ringing door.
We love to cast our memories back to olden days of yore,
When folks had time to stop and chat, no matter what they wore.
Allure drawing of the heart, to wander further in....
Each aisle a hidden mystery, of passing time now gone,
Creaky floorboards underfoot, suspense to feast upon.
With slowing steps to linger... fingering along,
Soft folds of delicate battenburg lace,
Sunbeams softly trembling on friable webs encased
In the whispering of a rustic place.
Intriguing delight concealed within the shelves-
Carefully choose the best,
Ah, the piece to complete a Royal Dolton chipped teaset.

Savour rose bouquets, breathe the aroma, pungent and sweet
Wafting fragrance unique,
Our hearts aglow... wandering by boiled lollies, mouth watering treat.
Rich, stroke of velvet colour, carelessly tossed braid with fringes unkempt,
Among ancient bears and china dolls, indulging my heart's content.
Thus the journey, so very sentimental, rummaging nostalgic memory lane,
Hunting for antique priceless treasure
To keep alive the flame.
A conglomerate of must-have collectibles, purchased at any price,
The call to keep alive the good old days
To reminisce, the hearts entice.
But while I shall be searching high and low, becoming feverish in the task,
May I never neglect the things money cannot buy
The beauty of eternal things, Lord, keep me holding fast
to all of You that lasts.

You are such a refreshment to my soul, as dew upon a flower at dawn,

The time we spend as mutual friends is beyond what we can measure,

Every day, I have this feeling a tenderness,
from the beauty you impart,
coming somehow, I confess...
there must be something special in your heart.
Something that you do so very naturally,
What can I say
but, you fill my life each moment
in your own lovely way
A gentleness I feel just because you are so beautiful always,
I may never know how you came
but your friendship is God's gift to me today
I am glad and grateful to my Father
for the loving that we share
and so very grateful
for all your sweet and caring prayer.

~ Sweet Memories Are You ~
You take me into somewhere in all that you bear
In my yesterdays, todays, tomorrows you are already there
For you are of a memory deep inside of me
Resounding and repeating of everywhere I've been
All that I am, have seen, you are of the who I am
And go wherever here I go, holding to my hand-
A shadow of a mystery, inexplicably one
Wrapped within the all I know, of all I ever loved
There is nought to be explained, it remains of the unknown
Why my friend became as one
I feel I've always known.

~ Memories Are Forever ~
You, touched a soul you passed today and, though you didn't know,
The gentle words you uttered there, warmed them with a lasting glow.
Just enough, to lift their spirit at the very needed time,
When they were feeling all alone, bereft, with life a bit unkind.
You blessed a soul you touched this day, by, just a simple smile,
When you looked them in the eye, 'twas then, they felt worthwhile.
You gathered up their fallen fragments as you passed so quickly by,
Unaware their need for love was calling in unspoken cry.
You didn't realise God would use you to protect them from the fear,
Collapsing in life's frailty, e'er holding back the tears.
You didn't know their name, nor face, but, they needed to know you,
Calling for a hand to gently reach with love that would be true.
Oh, would folk ever walk this path unloved,
if we all played our part...
If, when brushing someone by each day we share a little heart.

~ Memories Are Really Friends ~
The memories we keep are really friends that we can always see
To pop up almost unawares, a pleasure constantly
Most often it's a sheer surprise when a memory will come
Something special comes to mind and we're smiling at the fun
How neat to visit as we like to muse on endlessly
Remembering every sweet delight
Entertained deliciously...
For we take them everywhere we go to dream or out to tea
And you are such a treasured memory
That wherever I go, you tag along with me.

~ What Happens To The Memories ~
Whatever happens to the memories, all the words we'd like to say
The ones caught tightly in our throat, emotions steal away
What happens to those tender thoughts that never get conveyed
Right to the very heart that needed them today.
Where do words go, meant to be, yet forgotten over time,
Never reaching their true destiny.... A lonely soul to find.
Whatever happens to the sorry words tthat are kidnapped by pride
Stymied by a frozen wall, the solid stoic kind
How will I love you words be kept if they are never said
Drowned out by a busy life, remembered only in regret
What happens to the gentle words of encouragement hearts need
When occupied with many things and not with planting seeds
But, what happens to those special words if given all away
Oh, so many folks are loved-
If sweet words are shared today

~ Our Little World ~
We all had some special hidey holes, favourite little nooks
Like nestling in an alcove where we liked to read our books
Or 'neath the hedge a secret cave, to sneak in with the cat
Or the big old firewood heap with bunnies in our lap.
Maybe in the silo on the hill when it was clean and clear,
We'd crawl in through the tiny hatch and warble echoes we could hear.
Then there was the prickly hayshed full of baby mice and bales,
We'd try to find a staircase and climb right up to the rails.
We may have built a treehouse with steps to get up high,
To take our li'l childhood dreams away where we could fly.
But, best beneath our God's blue sky were cubbies of the tallest weed,
To crawl about and flatten some and make the rooms we'd need.
Where was our fear of critters then within trap doors to spring,
We shared our days with beetles unaware of scary things.
We could travel in our tiny world just with our li'l finger,
Between the grass, stones, sticks and sand a special road we'd figure.
Puppies, lambs, kittens and birds made up our world so sweet
Swings, a sandpit, Momma near was all that we could see-
Love within our li'l world was all we'd ever need
God's blue heaven overhead - a perfect sanctuary.

~ Cherished Keepsakes ~
Why do I hold onto many treasures
As I ponder what their purpose proves,
I surround myself with mementos over which I croon.
What is it about the pretties I cherish, while grasping tight to keep,
Would my heart survive their loss or softly grieve too deep.
Every one, a memory here and there
From my mother, or even older still,
And from each special friend, gifts my heart to fill.
What is it, of our deeper self that is so connected to each antique thing,
Do they distract us from moving on to what tomorrows bring.
Are we afraid of losing something of self, by parting with the bric-a-brac,
When it's really lost it's glory and is dusty, drab and cracked.
If a natural disaster should strike and destroy all of the past,
Then I would have to carry all that lasts forever
Where it never fades - within my heart.
Please heal me of all these fears Lord
Help me to put my hope in You,
Where there are no bygones that pass away,
Only beautiful keepsakes
That are genuine and true.

See this very precious moment hidden now in your tender little hand-
Open it as a cherished gift, the loveliest you have ever had,
For every treasured moment
Holds a thousand loving thoughts,
A momentous decision from within and a sweet delight is wrought...
To laugh in abundant joy
With the heart of a dearest friend,
Sending a prayer to the throne of God of praises without end.
Your mind may wander in garden glades
Just to talk with your Saviour there,
Every moment of a friendship that He loves to share-
Then as you feel the gentle breeze
And watch the beauty passing by,
This beautiful moment will unfold your heart of wonder to the sky.
Oh yes, a pungent moment
Dripping with delicious suspense-
Your open heart, suspended in forever

Knotted tightly to our heart is a friend that's tried and true
We are not drawn away to every smile
Beckoning for view.
For a good old friend will know us through and through-
They understand our need much more
Than another who is shiny new.
So we keep ties with those we know
Who share the memories so very sweet
For the time will always come when we need to reminisce.
We cannot lose the bonds we've made
With the one we know is pure
For the love we share with them, always will endure.

Lord, what have You today
What joy will You impart....
Thank You for my yesterday.. You were with me all the way
This morning, You are still here-
For You never go away.
I look up to the heavens and see You at Your window,
As You keep tossing hues of love
For me to catch below.
I can see the twinkle in Your eye, as You delight to give...
Choosing sweet surprises
To give my soul a lift.
I'm excited for today as my spirit seeks to soar
In Your beautiful blue expanses,
With all You have in store.
I stretch up high my open hands in hushed expectancy
And as I pause, to gaze in awe-
Your love envelopes me.

Lord, what have You today
What joy will You impart....
Thank You for my yesterday.. You were with me all the way
This morning, You are still here-
For You never go away.
I look up to the heavens and see You at Your window,
As You keep tossing hues of love
For me to catch below.
I can see the twinkle in Your eye, as You delight to give...
Choosing sweet surprises
To give my soul a lift.
I'm excited for today as my spirit seeks to soar
In Your beautiful blue expanses,
With all You have in store.
I stretch up high my open hands in hushed expectancy
And as I pause, to gaze in awe-
Your love envelopes me.

Love is being wrapped up only in the idea God has of you.

~ This Treasure We Are Given ~
God grants to us a friendship, a gift for you and me
And then we choose each day
what wonder it will be...
Soft words of gentle love, sharing one to one,
A little bit of cheerful joy, a bunch of silly fun,
Some comfort in the sad times
A word or two to lift,
When spirits sink so very low this all can be our gift.
To walk in Jesus' footsteps, reach out with loving hand,
Touch someone with His kindness,
To show we understand.
To care in every pleasure and every heartbreak too,
To pray through every hardship- That they would do for you.
This treasure we are given, the gift to dry a tear,
Now that friend is sent from heaven
As someone very dear.

~We let go of the misconception,
that anyone or anything can with-hold from us
all the abundance that our God has planned to give~

A little bit of cheerful joy, a bunch of silly fun,
