Out of the Shadows

Out of the shadows of the past
Sweet memories return to me
Of other times and other places
Events, long past, old loves,
So many dear, remembered faces,
Those happy moments I have known
With family and friends - long gone,
Yet, etched forever within
The mirrors of my heart and mind
Where they eternal refuge find,
Fondly recalled to linger on and on
Till my heart stops and I am gone...
