Analysis of Fond Memories



You've filled the gaping hole,
That dark and lonely chasm of my life
With hours of precious moments gold,
To these past months, you've added spice.
It took a while for us at first,
I thought we'd never meet,
And then when life was at its worst
You swept me off my feet.
In many ways you showed you cared,
In my life you became involved.
So many feelings we have shared,
Yet many doubts and fears lie unresolved.
Life is short, and I cannot see
What lies ahead tomorrow,
What fate again will beckon me
And turn my joy to sorrow.
But should there ever be a space
It won't be filled anew.
For in my heart, that special place
Shall be reserved for you.

Barbara Cadogan

I am a Registered Nurse, and first started to write poetry when I was about 18 years old. I have written several poems on a variety of subjects, and enjoy poems that are light and filled with humor. I feel that a good poem like a painting, is able to evoke a variety of emotions, whether sad or cheerful,angry or sympathetic.My goal in life is to learn as much as I can, and to spread peace and good cheer to many. Above all, to be respectful and helpful to my fellow man. more…
