Reminisce

© by Bud Lemire on June 22, 2022

As you get older, you reminisce more

Back to the place, that you've been before

You could have been thinking, of someone you knew

Wondering how they are, and if they think of you

Maybe it's a song, that'll bring you on back

A trip in your memory, and you don't have to pack

Songs mean so much, and they can be treasured

Taking you anywhere in time, they can't be measured

Remembering loved ones, who have passed away

They're alive again in memory, on any such day

They may be gone for now, but they remain a part

Of who you are, in your soul, and in your heart

You traveled one time, to a special place

You remember that feeling, along with a face

The time spent there, the waves on the shore

The memories of being there, can mean so much more

When you are older, you have more memories stored

Because there are many more places, that you explored

I look forward to the future, I love the present and past

I enjoy reminiscing, because my memories are so vast

Reminiscing is one thing we all do. As we get older, we

have many more places we can go to in our memories.

It's like a film being played within your mind, and you

are watching a rerun of something you enjoyed so very

much. Many times when we reminisce of someone who

has passed, we get emotional at the loss. Yet, we must

remember all the joy they gave us while they were here,

and smile and take that feeling with us as we travel to

the future.
