Little Moments
Image by Toni Kaarttinen via Flickr
Sometimes through the day
things strike me in such a way
that it causes me to pause
and reflect… because
I’ll see something that mom used to do
or an old friend used to say
and then in that moment
they live in the middle of my day
These moments don’t cost me anything
and sometimes they bring
joy with a little pain
but I know that those loved ones live in me
as sure as the blood in my veins… and they take me to new heights
as I live on knowing that it would be to their delight
because it is through me that they now live
and it is their little moments that allow me to give
the kind of love that they did back then
back in the time when little moments weren’t needed or taken
If some one was to say that these moments are not needed now they would be sadly mistaken
because these little moments keep loved ones passed from being forsaken
And give me peace even in the worst of times since I can always go back…at least in my mind.

We used to sing Precious Memories. I do not remember everything about lost grandparents, but the memories that did survive are powerful indeed.

We all have these times and I believe that they help make us stronger and also form us into who we are. Peace be with you.
PS I have tweeted you on my site!
How true this is… they are, and always will be, a part of us. My mother comes into my mind sometimes at the most unexpected times. And now, as I grow older, many of my friends have crossed over too, but memories of them are always there. God bless you, Stuart.
little moments, little treasures which keep memories of those past alive and well in our minds forever…and allow us to share in their gifts through us…xPenx

Lovely, 2z!! And so true…
It’s those little moments of enlightenment .. of joy.. of pain… of wonder that move us forward!! And it’s awesome..
“but I know that those loved ones live in me
as sure as the blood in my veins” – I really liked these lines a lot!! So effective..
Real truth indeed.
Love is like a seed in our mind
It grows as a tree in our memories
Fruits in to pleasant thoughts
Induces us to distribute it to contacts
Is self perpetuating
As it is relished by everybody.
