Fading Memories

Categories: Bereavement, Memories

Each day as I’m getting older
My memory’s becoming poorer
I am finding I cannot remember
All the things we did together.

Even the happiest times we spent
Are fading very fast
I am struggling to remember clearly
Everything that’s way in the past.

Yet the feelings I have in my heart
Are today as strong as ever
The strength of the bond of love we had
I know will be broken never.

Of the senses I use to remember
I think the most I important is that of touch
The special hugs you gave me
And I miss your hand in mine so much.

Yet the one I really cherish the most
Is the sound of your voice in my ear
Telling me how much you love me
I’ll never let your voice disappear.

Holding these memories I will live my life
As I’m sure you would want me to
Knowing all your love that I hold in my heart
Will sustain, inspire me, and see me through.
