I Remember The Time I Knew What Happiness Was.

(Stir up some memories today.)

Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

- Musical "Cats" lyrics - Memory


Memories
Like the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me - Would we? Could we?

Memories
May be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply to choose to forget

So it’s the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were

- Barbra Streisand - The Way We Were


Memory flows softly
Like wind through trees.
And where it touches,
The leaves quiver.
And my heart flutters.

Praising Makes The Remembrance Dear.

(Today, I was at a lost so I turned to Shakespeare...)

Praising what is lost Makes the remembrance dear.

- William Shakespeare


And makes the lost all the more painful.

~~~~~~~~~~"

Wise men never sit and wail their loss, but cheerily seek how to redress their harms.

- William Shakespeare


Not to sit and wail your loss but to seek to redress their harms, that is wise. But cheerily? That. Mr. Shakespeare, is asking too much!

Memory Of Winter In The Heat Of Summer.

“Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.”

- Kevin Arnold


And when you lose them, you wish you could also lose the memories.

“God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December.”

- James Matthew Barrie


And winter in the heat of summer.
