This is uncanny for it explains exactly the way I go in and out of my grief for my son. I like the way you have put the easy slide. It hits home in a way that makes me cry. Thank you so much for this post.

I lost a son, too, last year. Still struggling, and I think I always will. His brother is having a particularly hard time. They were practically joined at the hip. Also, he found him. Thank you for understanding.
Comment from Paul McFarland
Very nicely done, Yvonne. Meter and rhyme scheme are right on. There's nothing like bringing back pleasant old memories when things are not going well.

Comment from nancy_e_davis
This is nicely done Yvonne.. The tetrameter reads true and smooth in your three quatrains and the aabb rhyme is very well done. The message is also true for I use the same method to cure myself of the blues quite often. It's like counting your blessings after all is said and done. LOL Nancy:)

Your review is certainly appreciated, too.
Comment from A. Willow Bends
I love this. Oftentimes memories make me cry, happy tears usually! I often wonder if I had to do it all again, would I do it the same way? Yes, probably even with my mistakes! This is beautiful with a swaying rhythm.
Great Job!

Thank you. There are many things I think we'd all change if we could. But the important thing is to cherish the good memories.
Comment from dragonpoet
Yvonne,
This is a sad and hopeful poem about dealing with deep grief. It shows that memories do help with that in time and do help you get past the saddness and live life.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
I truly enjoyed the sentiments expressed so eloquently in your poem.
Reflecting on fond memories certainly does soothe the troubled mind and induce peace and contribute to a healthier, happier attitude and more enjoyment in life.
The presentation portrays the pensive mindset when one takes a deep dive into the psyche.
Blessings

Thank you for a wonderful review. As one gets older, all that's left are memories.
Comment from LateBloomer
Hello damommy, Yvonne, your poem is beautifully penned and heartfelt.
It reads and flows well and has silky rhyming within.
I especially related to the following two lines:
Confess to living in the past,
my way to keep it, make it last
(Me too)
Also:
That's when from grinding, gripping grief,
(Good alliteration)
Beautiful contemplative artwork that compliments and complements your poem. Y, enjoy your cherished memories. No one can take them from you. LateBloomer ~ Margaret

Thank you, Margaret. No, as long as my mind works, I'll always have memories. I'm glad you liked those lines.
Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Yvonne.
Memories are a two-edged sword. We love to remember the things in our lives that give us joy and then we come back to reality of the present day. The thing about memories is we can remember both the good and the bad things.
As I wrote in a poem some time ago "all of life is memory." we live in the current moment and 20 seconds from now hasn't happened, but 20 seconds ago is memory. Your poem tells the story very well as you describe both kinds of memories.

Your poem is excellent in every respect--skillfully written and very descriptive, moving and personal due to your grief. Yes, memories are
precious and, to a degree, healing.
