What started out as a day
Hike turned out to be a
Struggle for survival that
Would last a few months.
He had fallen and hit his
Head and knocked himself
Unconscious. When awake,
It took the hiker awhile
To regain his memory and
Find his way out of the
Overgrown forest.
One day I told my wife
We ought to go back to
the church we were
Married in. We did, and
It brought back a flood
Of sentimental memories,
The organ, her gown, the
Minister, the ceremony,
Down to the you may kiss
The bride ending. Love in
A beautiful setting.
Look up in the sky and
You will see the contrail
Of a high-flying jet. It
Could be a military
Aircraft or a commercial
Airliner. They fly so high
You can’t hear them, and
The view from that high
Is breathtaking. Flying
Over the clouds is an
Experience that is
Unforgettable.
Flowers that are not planted
Do not need to be watered.
Words that are not said
Will not be remembered.
Actions that are not taken
Will not need to be regretted.
Relationships that are not explored
Will not dwell in the bitter memory.
