Memories of past Memorial Days flood brain

On this special day marking summer's gain

In many years past, there were sharings ...

Of wonderful things and fantastic pairings



But on this one - all there is, is flashbacks

To tunes sung, and funny moments stacked 

In mind cells, revitalized by this day's spark

Warming heart, remembering walks in parks



Along with shared picnics at pretty Kent Falls

Picture-takings of friends and lovers and all ...

Moments shared on Memorial Days of the past

Before evolution of life changed things, unasked



- Tristram
