Memory Lane- a poem

I took a walk down memory lane

Quite eager yet to find,

The remnants of my yesterdays,

And what would come to mind.

FOR as a child, I had a bear,

I carried all the while.

And every time I’d hug that bear,

My face would have a smile.

THEN, as I grew into myself,

My mom gave me her ring.

I wear it still, and to this day,

It makes my heart yet sing.

AND I remember every day,

The way he made me smile.

And how we held each other’s hands

Along the many miles.

I’M older now, yet when I hold

That bear that I so love,

And see my mom’s ring on my hand,

I feel her smile above.

AND as I walk my miles today,

I’m not alone, you see,

For all the love and memories

Will always be with me.
