101821 In Loving Memory of Dixie Putman Allison...

Memory is a man’s real possession …

In nothing else is he rich,

In nothing else is he poor.

- Alexander Smith

 

A strange thing is memory, and hope;

One looks backward, and the other forward;

One is of today, the other of tomorrow.

Memory is history recorded in our brain,

Memory is a painter,

It paints pictures of the past and of the day.

- Anna Mary Robertson Moses 

 

We do not remember days;

We remember moments. 

- Cesare Pavese

 

Elvis Presley … Memories

Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine

Quiet thoughts come floating down
And settle softly to the ground
Like golden autumn leaves around my feet
I touched them and they burst apart with sweet memories
Sweet memories


Of holding hands and red bouquets
And twilight's trimmed in purple haze
And laughing eyes and simple ways
And quiet nights and gentle days, with you


Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine
Memories, memories


Of holding hands and red bouquets
And twilight trimmed in purple haze
And laughing eyes and simple ways
And quiet nights and gentle days, with you

Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine
Memories, memories, sweet memories
Memories
