Recently a friend took me to a place that was the great outdoors. No concrete, just all nature. It was done as a surprise to me. She is a dear dear friend! <br /> <br /> <br />Ripples of time washed over me. <br />Yesteryear flooded back. <br />Feeling things I hadn't, set me free. <br />Oh how I hadn't kept track. <br /> <br />Miles of memories that had escaped so long ago, <br />came in every mile outside the city walls. <br />Waves rushed to, and fro. <br />Just like the wilderness; it always calls. <br /> <br />God's touch was in your dear laughs. <br />Oh the company He did let me keep that day. <br />In memory of my birth so many years past. <br />It could not have been in a better way. <br /> <br />Ponds, and cardinals, scamper in sweet refrain. <br />Trees, not concrete, oh what a wonderful thing. <br />Mingled in thoughts of your friendship ease my pain. <br />My spirit truly continues to sing. <br /> <br />A day among many as precious as my children's birth, <br />will not be one to forget. <br />There is no measure for what it's worth. <br />In my thoughts forever set. <br /> <br />Spilling into treasures that time cannot bring to disrepair. <br />Only love could have brought to me that day. <br />Inner knowing of a heart that cares. <br />Miles of Memories are here to stay!<br /><br />Terri Long<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/miles-of-memories/
