Treasure Trove of Memories - Poem
Sometimes, in our lives, we find ourselves, traveling back in time, to an era of simplicity and innocence. To the young, carefree and glorious years of our childhood, when the daily dose of life given to us by G-d had so much color, so much vibrance. As kids, we worried not about taxes, bills and our jobs. Life was given as a gift and we lived that gift as beautifully as can be.
Creating an abundance of sweet, simple memories, to last forever...
When we think back to those memories, the realization of how much time seems to have passed since those innocent, jovial years, can almost leave one speechless in yearning.
Yearning for the times of young to return, just for one, little, moment...
But as we look through our memories, we can also see and appreciate the value each one holds in our heart. Almost like precious stones and pearls, they shine and stand out to us from the treasure chest of our soul, urging us to reach deeper and search for more memories.
This week, I was asked by my teacher to create a poem based on the prompt "Treasure Trove of Memories". After a few minutes of gathering ideas and concepts, I finally had the groundwork set up. I sat down and began to write the poem written below which I hope you enjoy.

Treasure Trove of Memories - Poem
Walking through the forest,
Searching for the treasure of my past.
Memories so sweet,
How I wished that time would last.
But times have changed,
Seconds rolled on by,
Leaving me to search, once again.
Want the good times now,
So I’ll remember them soon,
When are they coming to me?
When?
But until they come
I’ll keep looking.
Through the glass
And through the treasure chest.
All the good times
Rush back on in.
Sitting there
Forgetting about everything else.
Going through my treasure trove of memories…
Special, personal memories….
Feel nostalgic,
Can’t believe how long it has been.
Feel the weight,
Of emotion as the tears fall
Like a stream.
Time was so simple then
When I was young.
I just lived my life every day.
No worries or stress.
Just being myself.
How could these moments have melted away?
