This & That

ETCHINGS OF THE HEART

by: Donna L Martin

All those crystal clear memories

you’ve etched in my heart

to help soften the pain

during the times we’re apart.

And when clouds threaten my skies

I open that little door

to release a small memory

filled with Love, Hope, and More.

Love when you made me care,

hope when you spoke of we.

And More when you revealed secrets

of how you’d like things to be.

But memories are all I have

now that we’ve drifted apart

to remind me you’re still there

in the etchings of my heart.
