A Memorable Time, by Marie Johnson-Ladson

12/3/2021

Good Company, Fun and Music

We reminisced about the good and sad times

We shared our hopes and dreams

We enjoyed family and friends

We played music and danced

We had fun

You loved your family

You were Big G a Gracious Hostess

You cooked our favorite foods and offered our favorite drink

You always had a smile and said enjoy the best when you can

You would say "you think it's easy"

It was a faithful few and some may say it wasn't much

but it was

I cherish the time we spent together

It was a Memorable Time.

"Remembrance of Things Past" (Marcel Proust). These are the sweet memories that last a lifetime and are passed down to future generations. And so, they never die.

Thank you for honoring your ancestors. Sometimes it is only after they transition that we realize how they have enriched our lives.

    Poems submitted should be
    no longer than 160 words
    and contain
    no more than 16 lines.

    100 words remains the approximate target.
