The aroma of a freshly baked apple pie...

as it cools on a kitchen stove

The laughter and excitement of children Christmas morning...

as they unwrap their presents under the tree

Your family sitting at the dining room table enjoying a Christmas dinner...

feeling so thankful that you are all together once again

The miracle of your child's birth...

along with the dreams that are born with them

A first kiss from your first lover...

remembering how special your heart felt

The presence of a loved one who has departed...

yet has never left your side

Just as the ripples of this pond grow...

so do our memories in life

May this bring peace and joy to you & let you reflect on how precious our lives and times are...
