my memories

artwork by sabina fenn

my memories of you

are too huge 

to ever be lost

and yet small enough

for me to tuck a few of them

in the pocket of my jeans

each morning

just to keep me company

Wonderful lines Lydi**. You made me think of both my Dad and my brother. So much a part of my life, no longer here, but the memories stay. There is always room in my back pocket to carry them with me. Thank you for that lovely thought on this Sunday morning.

Memories are huge and small, delicate and rough, tender or tough but they lingers with us. I like your approach of tucking them in jeans pocket for company... Yes that would be a very good idea. I like the dreaming ,soothing tone of this poem..

Rather think that this wee poem has a beautiful story behind it. There's such a warmth to and in the words, Lydi. Great picture, too.

To and for all of us, Lydi = and, perhaps why we sense feelings as deep and long lasting as yours, my friend.

Take care, keep safe. Please.

I just love the last four lines of this.

"tuck a few of them/ in the pocket of my jeans/ each morning/ just to keep me company"
I have many memories tucked in my pocket...and everything is a constant reminder
of my folks...this poem made me think of them and me....and the degree to which we
found common ground the last years.
thanks for this, Lydi.
