"Love Among the Memories"

There's love among the memories

A mothers face I see

So joyous young and tender

It reaches out for me

The pictures of my childhood

Reach back across the years

With mother there beside me

She eased away my fears

She'd kiss away the heartache

And chase away the pain

Then wash away the teardrops

And make me whole again

If memories were rubies

Such riches there would be

For always in my memory

A mothers face I see.
