So true... you have a true gift for sharing those memories!
Cryssa

I too have childhood memories, adult hood memories and new memories in the making still, though a little sadder today then in the past. I try to get out of my grieving but it comes back to me daily. Oh well, I guess the Good lord will strenghten me in his own time. Meanwhile I thankd good friends such as you, Bonnie for encouraging me to do this writing and go on living and have den as good therapy. All the credit goes to you, wonderful friend and counselor.

I seem to have memory problems when I look back, maybe it was the dysfunction of my family, I don't know, but I surely do wish I COULD remember more...or maybe it would be a bad thing...? I will just read of yours...ed

Bonnie,

What a wonderful a poem about expression. We can share anything we want through God and the pen. Beautiful.

(((HUGS))) and much love, yoru friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :)

Some are sad that they can't remember yesterday, what about those of us that can't remember today?
But seriously, I kind of envy those that can remember, that have memories of happy childhood, for a few of us, forgetting is the best.

I love your last two lines, and those of us who had wonderful childhoods are very lucky, indeed.

Bonnie,
I often go back in time, I had a good childhood. My mama had 4 boys and 4 girls! We had our own baseball team in our front yard on hot summer days! I was the oldest so had more responsibilty than the other children, more of the work load growing up. Mama had to work 2nd shift, so when I got home from school as a teen, I had to clean, cook, take over where Mama left off. I never complained for I didn't mind. Mama sacraficed alot for us kids. I wish I could go back in time and live over one day that my mama and daddy were still alive. They've both gone to be with the Lord now. Mama died when a car hit her while she crossed the road. She was only 39 yrs old. My Daddy died of CHF. When I find myself missing them greatly I'll go back in time and relive a moment of a far away happy time in my life. Thanks for sharing this poem, Bonnie. Thanks for taking me back.

Many blessings an love,
~Linda

You are so very wise, Sugar! For those like me that didn't have a normal or good childhood, we can live vicariously through your joyous poetry and glean some of the sweetness! HUGS! SC
