REMEMBER WHEN……….

By Luis M. Méndes

Something we try to do when we have a

Nice day!

Something we try to remember when we have a

Nice day!

Words we remember from long ago bringing

Nice memories!

Something we try to hold on to when we have a

Nice day!

Something we hear when we have a

Nice day!

Something we want to see when we have a

Nice day!

Something we want to say when we have a

Nice day!

 

Do, remember, nice memories, hold on to, hear, see

 

And………..

When was the last time we did something without pain and without stretching our aching muscles and nerves to the limit?

And……….

When was the last time we remembered something clearly and without writing notes?

And……….

When was the last time we had a “nice” time?

And………

When was the time we had the strength to hold on to something?

And………

When was the time we heard clearly?

When was the last time we could see without straining our eyes?

When was the last time we had a real nice day?

 

So, should us forget about “remembering”?

sometimes I can’t stop my memories of happy times, love-filled moments

laughing and dancing,

see? These are the memories that keep me alive and I hope you too

see? That’s the only thing that remains

see? Close our tired eyes and dreaming of past sceneries

see? Hear the words of one that loves and cares for us

see? That is OUR world, a world of “remember when…”

Sometimes our “remember when’s” are as far back as yesterday!

Other times are clear pictures of long gone days

This is the fuel that keep us alive the fuel that

Creates the fire burning our minds, hearts and bodies

What really hurts most of us

And sometimes we don’t recognize

Is how AWARE we are of our loses

How aware we are of the restrictions imposed by the

MonSter!

 

Sometimes our lives are based on those good moments

I accept them as a gift from the Creator, gift? You ask

Sure, I truly believe is a gift

Just imagine if you couldn’t remember happier times

How much hurt and pain we’d feel in our souls

 

My very last declaration is that

I am very happy to be able to remember

that most of the time I am flying high among clouds

among my memories

sadly, those too will disappear!

 

Let’s have lots of dreams

let’s put all our dreams together

lets fill our selves with the fine mist of

happy memories.

 

Our world is not limited as long as we are to

remember!

our beloved ones that are gone

are alive as long as they

Live in our memories.
