Inside the lining of my heart,
Hidden away safe and deep
Are the memories I hold dear
Alone and all mine to share or keep secret.
Thoughts, visions, and echoes all wrapped dear,
Lie the friendly glances, the warm smiles
And knowing looks I’ve kept to remember
I’ve hidden the pain and covered the tears
With laughter, hope, and never ending faith.
Forgotten and yet easily remembered,
Open and yet quickly closed,
All remain in the lining of my heart.
On cloudy blue days they, stand at attention
Awaiting their call. They’ll come fast or slow
Some will meld together into one. Some are
Happy and some are sad
But they all are intertwined with the
Common thread found inside the lining of
My heart.
