The Color of Memories

Memories dance around me

Like snowflakes in my mind

The year has been so long...

Thinking of all that I’ve experienced

                and

Things I have yet to find

Rosy in the morning

Green in the afternoon

Dark blue in the twilight

Colors swirling to form a picture

Fading into the New year

          that’s 

 Coming far too soon

 Did I say everything I should have?

 Reach out to those in need?

 Show those that I care in action and in deed?

 I cherish each friendship

 The laughter and the tears

 Have I learned from my mistakes?

 Am I growing wiser with the years? 

 My memories walk beside me

              as

 I step away

 Into the colors of what lies ahead

 With all my heart I wish you

Happy New Years Day !!
