Memories are Heartbeats

Saint Paul, Minnesota Chapter

"We Need Not Walk Alone"

Memories Are Heartbeats

Memories are heartbeats

Sounding through the years,

Echoes never fading

Of our smiles and tears,

Moments that are captured,

Sometimes unaware.

Pictured in an album

Or a lock of hair.

Images that linger

Deep within the mind,

Bits of verse we cherished.

Once upon a time.

Through the musty hallways,

Of all the days we knew,

Ever comes the vision

Beautiful and true.

Memories are roses

Blooming evermore,

Full of fragrant sweetness

Never known before

Life must have a meaning,

Goals for which to strive,

Memories are lights that burn

To keep the heart alive.
