Tears And Smiles

Tears And Smiles

Tears and smile firmly etched upon the mind,

Memories linger as years quickly come and go !

With age the past is fresher, never left behind,

So reminiscing on love or loss is all you know !

.............................................

You reflect on where you're rewarded or tested,

With situations having made you happy or sad !

Realizing lessons came from what has mattered,

The knowledge you can call on makes you glad !

..............................................

When you're older there's less to cause surprise.

You've been through too much to feel pressure !

What's to be respected or valued you recognise.

You've learnt for certain all there is to treasure !

Words of wisdom I really love these lines:

When you're older there's less to cause surprise.

You've been through too much to feel pressure !

What's to be respected or valued you recognise.

You've learnt for certain all there is to treasure !

Had to read them over and over again...a very thought provoking write...enjoyed

Hello Romeo...

You may or may not see this...

I have read this a few times and I have commented each time, but I got rid of it before I hit send because it's one of those that's better than great and more than fantastic...

I wanted to put a comment though...

You speak of treasures and as we get older treasures though unseen and not material...

The value means so much more...

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs! :)

Hugs ! As we grow older what we appreciate most begins to change. What we should learn from our elders is that material wealth is not important compared to love, friendship, health, happiness and peace. So pleased you could relate to my work.

Wishing you the best as always.  :)

Hi Richard,

Ones golden years

Been there, done that

So we create a bucket list

Things that will rekindle those thrills of new discovery

Hopefully we complete our list before our eviction

Peace and Love,

Always a fan of your words Richard,
And some of the memories of encouraging comments are certainly something that I value.
It has been said "You can't take it with when you go" But I feel somehow,... just maybe, memories might be an exception. 

Well done my friend. This kind of wisdom is my favorite genre.

your fan

Hi Richard!  How true that more time nets less surprise...  Really relate to having memories to recall despite more time passing.  Thanks for sharing!*!*!
