Shared

In the deepest recesses of my mind

Your memories are stored

Fragments of the days gone by

A photo album

Shared by only me

The pictures in my mind

That only I can see

Unless I draw them with oral words

A description

Words to see

Are your memories clear and bright

Or

Are they gray and pale

Faded by time and lack of use

Or

Clouded by forgetfulness

Shuttered by a veil

Will you remember how we met

When our children have all grown

Or

Will that October day

Dissolve in time

Hidden

Overgrown

Will you remember how we wed

On that November day

And

How our friends

All

Wished us well

Or

Will they fade

Without a trace

Remembered

Only by me

With a photo album

In my mind

Shared by only me
