Precious Memories ( Archived) (20)

You can't buy precious memories
With silver or gold,
They come to us without a price
As the years of life unfold.

I've longed for many things in my life,
Some with hidden thorns of pain.
Knowing what was best for me,
God sent both sunshine and rain.

Hard times teach us to appreciate
Good times when they come along,
If all of life was fun and pleasure,
How could we ever grow strong?

God in His infinite wisdom
Has given me many good years,
Taught me to suffer with others,
To feel their sorrow and tears.

So if you want precious memories
As the years of life unfold,
Learn how to love one another,
It's worth more than silver or gold.

thats sweet

Beautiful, Vicki...May I?

If Only
By Bobby7

If only I could write a poem that everyone could read,
Then I’d know, within my deepest heart, that I’d done well, indeed.

If only I could write a poem that would bring the whole world peace,
Make us brothers; make us sisters and make the bloodshed cease.

If only I could write a poem that would melt the hardest heart,
And tear down all the fences that are keeping us apart.

If only I could write a poem that would lift a troubled soul,
Then I would reap a bounty that’s more precious than pure gold.

If only I could write a poem that would cause an eye to tear,
And let my brothers and my sisters pass through life without a fear.
I
If only I could write a poem that would let all see the sun,
Then, I’d gladly put away my pen. For I’d know my work was done.
