SWIFTLY CAME SEPTEMBER
by Joyce King Eddlemon
Swiftly came September, lingered just awhile;
Every day as precious as a baby's smile.
Swift the years are passing - chapters of our life-
Happiness and sadness; peaceful times and strife
Woven all together to form a tapestry
Of golden threads, and silver, for all the world to see.
Swift my thoughts turn backward
To a by-gone time;
Memories grow more mellow
As a well-aged wine.
Happy times and laughter,
Loved ones young and old
Blend to form a treasure
More rare than finest gold.
Walk with me, beloved. back to yesterday;
Savor all the joys of life lived in a simpler way.
Know as down the road of life each footstep that you take,
Each song you sing, each joy you bring tomorrows' memories make.
(Written for Skip,Beth, Sue & Ann - my personal masterpieces-
and for Jim, Roy and Fred who brouht much happiness.)

Hey Mom...thank you for such a beautiful post. It's a pleasure to read it.
We love you very much!
Glad to see you're back, Mama. And thank you for the wonderful thoughts. We treasure all your "scribbles", especially when they are as beautiful as this. Love you lots!!
I am so glad to see you back..especially with a poem. You know we all love your poetry. Skip (better known to bloggers as Hermit Jim)and my Jim inherited your gift as a writer, I guess. Ann, no offense, but if you write I just have never read it.
Love ya.
