Memory dear,
I will keep our sweet memory
through the joy
through the pain
Memory dear,
was it yesterday or last year
it does not matter to me
as you are always part of me
Memory dear,
when I open my eyes
when I close my eyes
you are always there
When did we sing together?
When did we walk together?
When and when?
Memory dear, it does not matter
As long as I live
I will keep that hope
that memory
everything about you

reminscent of a typical lyrical piece, however your repetition and simplicity is good.
the rhetorical questioning, that will never be answered and yes indeed, it does not matter. -
Gentle and lovely, a sweet vow to keep love alive, without a timetable... a wonderful read. Thank you for sharing.

lovely
this was such a lovely poem.
it made me feel light hearted
with all the drama that has been going on in the world and in my own life this was perfection.
thank you

This is very interesting here. A nice, 'memorable' write (smiling). I like the reflective feel of this piece and this part really stuck out with me, "Memory dear,
was it yesterday or last year".

This is so true; so long as you can remember, you can bring to mind the good times - and thus keep life on an even keel. Nicely written, rang very true!

Loved the flow of this write, within our memories we remember it fills us with hope.Thank you for sharing. Success in this contest.

Ah, very nice interpretation of this quote! I enjoyed the repetition of certain words; it was like you were lacquering certain images and ideas into my mind--creating a memory, perhaps?
Thank you for taking the time to enter!
