Memories reserved in our minds <br />Those events buried in our hearts <br />Thoughts and ideas of friendship <br />Or experiences of life and love <br />As the casual joyful encounters <br />A friendly smile, routine greeting <br />Or a glance of acknowledgement <br />May live in our hearts a lifetime <br />Bowing to the bidding of death <br />But those we dare to write down <br />Or speak to another in a whisper <br />May survive yet a thousand deaths <br />Passing from one person to another <br />Friends, acquaintances or strangers <br />As words of encouragement or hope <br />A legacy of lasting love or friendship<br /><br />Oyekake Satty Joshua<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/living-memories/
