Sentimental subtleties
Grace the pages of life’s book
Coloring it with hues of love and laughter
Sadness and pain
Emotions of change
And smiles.
Memories are evoked
When a single charge
Of emotional electricity
Sparks from the smell of homemade bread
The song that pierces the heart
Or a touch that sends us reeling.
Time disappears
In the moment when we’re whisked away
To another time and day
When we were younger
Happier, unaffected by time
Lost in the innocence of our youth
Carefree.
Hold tight
To the memories of yesterdays
Where we savor the joy and pain
Of playing, growing, loving
Learning and becoming
Wise.
Remember well
The snapshots of our youth.
