LOOKING BACK I CRY
(written by Gail Batton - 10/23/94 - #62)
Digging through the tattered boxes
Pictures and letters - cards and poems
Times and places - people and words
Popping into my mind once again
Odd - something that I cannot comprehend
The sweeter the memory - the more that I sob
The dearer the photograph - the free-er the tears
I hold my treasures - read each card
Looking back - I cry.
