Are Memories enough to go by?
From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).
The last such message was: ‘Good Morning Message #139‘.
Good morning Friends,
So the person who you loved has left,
As everyone must some time or the other;
The heart is aching and the soul is bereft,
It could be lover, brother, sister, or mother.
There is a strange void, there is a heartache,
There appears to be nothing left to hold;
You feel it’s bad dream, though you’re awake,
Your heart is numb and your lips are cold.
You look for some sign of God’s secret plan,
A reassurance that all is not actually lost;
And then you remember how it all began,
Gradually, you see the clearing of the frost.
Memories come flooding in and you smile,
Thinking of the beautiful times you had spent;
There is gleam of sunshine in your hour of trial,
There is reason to rejoice even when you lament.
And now in you something curious takes place,
Your heart is gleeful even when eyes have tears;
Even in sadness and sorrow you still find solace,
Gradually you get the sign God still really cares.
God gave us memories to recall when in sorrow,
And wistfully think of happy times we’ve had;
So why not make great memories for tomorrow,
To make us cheerful when events make us sad?
Yes, if we cared to work on them when we had time.
