    (Grace E. Easley)

    Memories are heartbeats
    Sounding through the years
    Echoes never fading
    Of our smiles and our tears.
    Moments that are captured
    Sometimes unaware
    Pictured in an album
    Or a lock of hair.

    Images that linger
    Deep within the mind
    Bit of verse we cherished
    Once upon a time.
    Through the musty hallways
    Of 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.

    Old Things are More Beautiful
    (Clay Harrison)

    Old things are more beautiful
    than many things brand new
    Because they bring fond memories
    of things we used to do.

    Old photographs in albums,
    love letters tied with lace
    Recapture those old feelings
    that new ones can't replace.

    Baby shoes, a Teddy bear,
    a ring that grandma wore,
    Are treasures waiting there behind
    a door marked "Nevermore".

    Old things are more beautiful,
    more precious day-by-day.
    Because they are the flowers
    we planted yesterday.

    I didn't have potatoes, I substituted rice.
    I didn't have paprika, I used another spice.
    I didn't have tomato sauce, I used tomato paste.
    A whole can, not a half, I don't believe in waste.
    A friend gave me the recipe, she said you couldn't beat it.
    There must be something wrong with her, I couldn't even eat it!

    IF IT WASNT SAID BEFORE
    IF YOU DIDNT KNOW
    HOW COULD I SAY
    WHAT SHOULD BE CLEAR
    FROM THE BEGINING
    I CARED FOR YOU
    MORE THAN I KNEW.
