Sentimental Journeys

Memories created by the minute
To last a lifetime.
Looking back at them,
One smiles with moist eyes
They gladden the soul for having lived
That time was something special.

Something to hold and cherish
They were priceless pearls of happy times.

Then, after many moments of wrenching the gut,
The nostalgia overwhelms and stings the soul.
The lost moments wash the cheeks
The agony of joy pulls the strings in the heart
Those moments are long gone, yet they are close
They remain eternally in the fabric of life.
