THE HILLS & THE VALLEYS

Experiences that makes us glad to have had: though at times they seem to make us sad.

                             THE HILLS  & THE VALLEYS

You took me up on that mountain:

showed me things I'd never known.

My stay there was only transitory:

I clung to the good times ~ to get over 

the bad times I had been shown.

You held my hand firmly ~ I was assured.

You said you'd never fail me, protect me

         from all bad things unknown.

You played a sweet melody on that old guitar.

It took me up the hills and down the valleys too:

    in a land that is so very far from view.

I'll cherish those good times - they've become 

                     most dear

for if things did go wrong ~ you'd make them right.

  I'd gently squeese my pillow, way into the night.

            Life was at it's best ....

I'll cherish those moments - till I am finally laid to rest!

oh my dear... You almost brought my tears with the beauty and gracefulness of Your words, it's easy to stay in these happy moments, the hard part is to keep them alive for all the times to come, it's so painful at times... but with the grateful faithful spirit as Your, only someone like her could write these words here, I love the tittle, the dream that is still alive no matter what... Thank You for touching my heart with Your words.

I really enjoyed this poem and the story it tells. And you are correct about those memories, whether sad or happy always somehow become good memories. Your poem was beautiful, it felt real and what a wonderful experience. I could see this play out as I read.

The love I have for Wales is only second to the one I have for the 'land of my birth!'

[Carolynn]

I agree - we all reminisce about good (and even bad) memories. They are what made us who we are - shaped us and helped us grow :)

You are so right here. Thank you Carolynn for this input!

as i have gotten older i have come to bide by what this poem says...we may have lost relationships in the past, and have some bitter memories...but it is best to keep the good ones in the mind and heart.

So true here Jacob. As you age, you reflect on the yesterdays and keep only the good memories. Thank you for a lovely review.
