A Toast To Re-Membering

Fill my glass with memories, friend,
the sweet wine of yesterday,
golden drops that sparkle
in the sunlight of joy
and, like sacred nectar,
soothe all regrets.
To the top, please, lest I forget
kindnesses bestowed,
laughter shared,
obstacles faced.

So, here’s to the re-membering of
all those special moments that
warm the deepest places in my soul.

Today I will make new memories,
some to cherish, others that will,
upon reflection, tell me about myself
and the world of my encounters.
I will value both with
genuine gratitude.
