Time gives gifts unknown at the time
precious memories as rust takes shape,
letting go of reminders
knowing the time to move forward
and embracing the newness to come.
So many places seen through glass
as sun and rain fell and each one comes
visiting when I turn and suddenly recall
battered now and failing
we reach out and hold tight to the good,
letting slip the not so much-
knowing nothing lasts forever
we slip into the interior for one last song
as the day grows long
and I may shed a tear
but after a week of learning
the difference between life and simply things,
make the letting go easier
for objects can always be replaced,
memories hang out like friends forever
and tomorrow dawns new and clear waiting
for a new trip and joy hitchhiking,
waiting to be picked up and brought along
for another ride.
Hubby went to move my car yesterday and as he got in, found there must be a good leak somewhere because after the hurricane, my car has 2 inches of water inside it. We knew her days were numbered but this sealed the deal. The blue kahuna will be utilized for parts hopefully for someone in need, just not wet floor mats….they will use the good stuff I’m sure. And no, it’s not a VW, I just love those things 🙂 picture found on Pinterest.
