30 Nov 1963--Memories of my wedding, my spouse, my
Heart. (GROOM-Dale Russell Jones Shoudy, GROOM Mom in Dark Blue and blond hair- June Grace Wolfe Jones Shoudy; BRIDE-Dorothy Hazel Tarr, BRIDE Mom in Light Blue and hat- Dorothy Helen Scott Tarr]
(The memories are fresh in my Heart,
yet the images are as faded as these photos.
So many youthful hopes – unrealized and unfulfilled. Love lost in the wake of passing years and
tears. However, for the Heart, there is
no timeline. dht-21 OCT 2011.)
As I behold all my treasured
keepsakes and mementos,
my sense of déjà vu deepens. My Heart lives in the bosom of my past,
where memories of Family and Love reside.
If I close my eyes, I am transported
once again
to a Time and Place all too familiar
– for I'm a frequent visitor
that is embraced in Welcome by my memories.
My visits are more frequent and
prolonged with each passing
year. The simple pleasures of Hearth and Home –
strong lures.
