This is a touching poem about time, memories, and the simple joys of later life.
It draws inspiration from everyday moments and the wisdom gained over the years, encouraging you to appreciate stillness, cherish happy memories, and enjoy a fulfilling life.

❤️Embracing Happy Memories

In the quiet corner of a passing day,
I sit with Zinger tea and thoughts at play.
No deadlines now, no clocks to chase,
Just echoes of time in a softer place.

The hands that once built dreams for all,
Now tremble, painting skies on the wall.
Wrinkles may whisper of battles fought,
But the soul stays young, wisdom-taught.

The laughter of children, the scent of rain,
The photo albums, the letters remain.
Each tear I wiped, each smile I gave,
Now comes back in waves, I quietly brave.

I walk through the garden of yesteryear,
Where old roots bloom and voices appear.
Regrets are many, but I let them go—
I danced in sun and kissed the snow.

Now I write with my heart wide open,
Live my life fully, without a sad slogan .
And when my story finds its end,
My words will smile, a message to send.
