Every memory has a tale
of celebration, love, nostalgia
hurt, regret, despair
some framed, some discarded
some gentle, spontaneous, unadulterated
some labored, tiring, bedeviled
A glance of askance at the future
to unravel its secrets and surprises
to share the blueprint that lay ahead
but it smiles and offers us a thousand tales
memories shaped in the present
choices, experiences, and pathways
What could have been changed
a hurt which could have been appeased,
a harsh word withheld
but time a teacher nonpareil
tender, merciful,gracious
gifts a treasure of precious memories
