these are
your life’s
keepsakes

a calm lake
the turbulent sea
the forest
………..in a mid-winter dream
the steamy beach
stars at midnight
kids catching fireflies
lazy day
laying next to………… who
the 1st flower of spring
the last leaf of autumn
the 1st smile
…………… on a baby
the 1st kiss
………….. that was wished
the perfect tan
a not so perfect………. man – woman

close your eyes
let your mind wander
the list is long
the list is your
…………..fondest

walk a little slower
capture
a few more
caress them with your heart
hold them in your soul

close your eyes
photograph them
in your mind
