Good And Happy
Memories
“The best things in life
are free:
hugs, smiles, friends, kisses, family, sleep, love, laughter
and good memories”
How True are these words!
Material objects are nice to have
but they cannot talk, do or hug.
One of our earliest
and most comforting memories
is of mother cuddling us as a baby,
smiling and talking to us.
Even today,
at over fifty years old,
I can still remember my mum’s brooch
of two white cats curled up together.
A Beautiful memory
of my mother
who is no longer with us.
And what would we do
for just one more cuddle
with our loved ones who have died?
Whilst we are
Altogether and Alive,
let’s Love and Appreciate
each other
Today.
Each one of us
has their own Unique Smile.
Every one of us
has that Special Laugh.
How ‘often’
do we Smile and Laugh.
How much ‘Time’
do we spend
with those we Love?
“Time” itself is free
but goes by so quickly
that if we ‘blink’,
we miss it.
Let’s ‘use’ our Time Wisely
and
really take in these
Beautiful ‘aspects’ of Life.
A Hug.
A Smile.
A Friend.
A Kiss.
Family.
Sleep.
Love.
Laughter.
Good and Happy Memories.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

What a beautiful poem. Congratulations, too, on the Top Story recognition.
The poem beautifully captures the essence of cherishing life's intangible treasures, like love, laughter, and precious memories.
We keep finding happiness in materialistic things but unless we find their worth is not worthy of our struggles but the real things that we don't care too much are truly valuable
