Golden Memories

Golden Memories
By Kenny merrell

Light the candles
Bask in warmth of memories
Gilded tapestries of life’s sojourn
Moments pass in strikes of lightning
And fifty years in quicksilver haste
I see such beauty in my lover’s motion
Her grace still there defeating time’s mournful pull
Slow down these mortal passages
With princely, thoughtful pause
Toast only to the present
But remember love’s luxurious happenings
Our journey will be written
In terms of grace and beauty
A love story told to grand children
On nights when sleep won’t come
Into the future we will be remembered
Our life a model to them all
